Spokane Interstate fair

This week we went to the Spokane Interstate fair with Cousin Charlie and his entourage (the Ring family). It was quite fun. The highlight for me was Mutton Bustin, where the kids under 60 pounds try to ride the sheep bareback. They get decked out in helmets and chest pads and then get "2 hands full of wool and hold on!" It was pretty entertaining.

Caden just loves to be held by whomever wants to hold all 18 pounds 15 oz of him. He is all smiles with Cheryl (Charlie's grandma).
This is Matt (Jeannette's husband) climbing the rock wall. When they visited us in November, Jeannette tried to climb the wall for a candy bar or a drink, not sure which. She didn't make it to the top, but neither did Matt.

Yep The World Championship of Mutton bustin. I am pretty sure that Caden will be doing this in 2 years. The kids were so cute, holding on to the sheep for dear life. They just had to stay on for 6 seconds in order to have the chance to win a belt buckle. No one made it 6 seconds, so they gave it to the person that stayed on the longest.

It was good old fashioned fun for us at the fair, and cheap too. It only cost $4 to get in!
