Western Idaho Fair

Bailey has been working on a few paintings with Grandpa Davis and decided to enter them in the fair. When she saw all the categories that she could enter, she decided that she wanted to make and decorate a cake also.

Her paintings turned out great and were super easy to submit. The cake however was a royal pain. Both she and Nick wanted to decorate a cake. So the morning they were to be turned in, we baked 2  8 inch cakes. They could each submit one single layer. Bailey cut her cake in two and added a strawberry filling. Nick decided to frosting his cake green and put lemon frosting on. By the end of that morning, the kitchen was a disaster, frosting was everywhere, the cakes were pretty messy looking and mommy was pretty overwhelmed and frustrated....

Fast forward two days later....

Nick's cake won 3rd prize (which I was completely shocked, but maybe they gave him a prize for being the only 6 year old boy to decorate a cake) and Bailey's  got 2nd place. Bailey's paintings ended up getting a 1st place and a 2nd place. After seeing how excited and proud they were, I decided that we will give it a go again next year and maybe I just need to relax a bit.

Since Trent was off work still and Grandpa Campbell and cousin Trevor were here from the camping trip, we all went to the fair . It was hot but lots of fun. The pig races were back, there is always good fair food and the kids had a blast on the rides.
