Fubar Snafu

Things go awry sometimes. You forget important packages on benches...

You're up at 3am for no reason except heartache...

 You don't quite make it out the road.

 It was lovely in the sun,

 admiring the fish,

 and the fireweed.

 And we did have a good time after all.

 We never did make it here though...

Grand Champion Pie Makers!

Abby and I have picked a lot of berries, made jam, and baked pies. We entered our products in the Kodiak State Fair.

 I like fairs, Kodiak's is of course rather small, but still a great time (for kids).

Petting zoo

 OctoDog with mac n cheese

 Pie eating contest! 

Abby did really well. She was the youngest and cam in third. It was that dang crust that hung her up!

 Shooting stuff

 "hay ride"

 My favorite - the exhibitions!

 Canning seemed like one of the largest divisions.

 We won the GRAND CHAMPION prize for our locally harvested rhubarb, blueberry and raspberry (no seeds) pie!

With her prize money Abby got a swirly pop!
