The Washington County Fair was definitely "Dino-Mite" for us this year. We had a lot of fun seeing all of the exhibits. Our nieces, Jacee, Cassie and Chelsie, entered pillow cases, and pajama pants that they had made into the fair. They all won blue ribbons and qualified to go the the State Fair. Cassie even won a Reserve Sweepstakes award on her pajama pants. Good job girls; you were awesome! Looks like we need to take a trip up to the State Fair.
During the judging, I could not get Emily to do any of her tricks such as "Pat-a-Cake", "ta-da", chicken noises, motorcycle noises, or anything. The only thing she would do is show her baby teeth by making "the mean face". Then she wanted to get down and crawl so I let her and she crawled over to one of the judges chairs and started beating on it and laughing. Then when the judge came back to sit on her chair, Emily got mad and made "the mean face" at her again. After the judging was over, I wasn't sure if Emily was going to go on the Saturday competition or not.
I kind of didn't think she was going to because there were some cute babies in her group.
At about 3:00 that afternoon, I got a call from the Baby Contest committee and they told me Emily had made it in the top 48 finalists! I was way excited; I called everyone and told them to be at the fair at noon the next day to see Emily in the competition.
The announcer told us that about 200 kids had been entered in to the Baby Contest and that the 10-18 month old girls (Emily's group) had the most entries. After all of the age groups had gone on stage, they announced that there had been a tie in Emily's age group and we needed to come back on stage for a tie breaker.
So we went back on stage to the judges' table to be judged again. The royalty still hadn't taken their candy out of the wrapper so Emily threw it at them again.

"The drum roll please..." We are waiting the hear the winners.

"And the winners are... Third place... Emily Farnsworth!!!!!" We were so excited to hear our name. We went back up on stage to get our ribbon, stuffed dinosaur, and growth chart. We also got our picture taken for the newspaper. We think third place is just as good as first. We always knew we had the cutest baby ever!!
