Isabelle enters a Milking Contest!

Only Isabelle would be brave enough to enter the milking contest. She took second place, milking 5 oz. in 60 seconds. I guess all those foot massages on Paul are paying off!
This is the "back side" of the cow! (It was was VERY realistic...and difficlut to milk!

The end of a lovely day!

We ended our day meeting Daddy at Big Scoop for supper!

Isabelle is a girl after dad's own heart. (At least when it comes to airplanes). Here she is getting ready for take off! Up..Up..Up..and Away!
This is the longest french fry we have ever seen. It was at least 3 feet long before Isabelle "accidently" broke it. This is only 1/2 of it!
The girls get some good old fashioned fair food. (An order of double chins with a side of love handles!)

Skagit County Fair 2007

I decided to do a friend's day at the fair this year, so that Paul & I could enjoy the fair as well. It worked out great and the girl's had a ball. Peyton invited two friends, and Isabelle was mom's buddy for the day!


This is a picute of Isabelle on the ferris wheel. This is the first time she has been on the one at the Skagit County fair! Isabelle is ready to head into the Fun House!
Isabelle rides the train. This was at kiddie land and she was pretty bored with it.

The girls were out for a competitive racing game. Isabelle won and got a stuffed dog!

The girl's try their hand at "city-fied" fishing. They each won a prize.
Abbi thinks she might have caught something!
All the girl's with their prizes.
The girls take a minute to pose together for mom. This was the first picture-but got out of order in the upload!

Isabelle playing in the yard.

Isabelle got the sprinkler out to cool off...looking good!

Cultus Mountain

Grandpa get's ready to head out on the trail...he had to be last because his horse kicks and bites. I am glad it was hime and not me! Isabelle gets ready for her first solo ride.
Madeline rode on Mischief...hum, a horse after her own heart!
Peyton, you look like a pro.

A very quiet trail ride with grandpa.
