4H County Events

Yesterday, was our yearly 4H County Events. Both kids got 1st place in their class, and will be able to move on to Districts, which will be on Caitlin's birthday this year. But, I did discuss it with her, and we will it on another day. She also has two friends with birthdays that same weekend, so it might get interesting this year. It will also be in Taylor County this year, which is a bit of a drive. DJ played Fix You, by Coldplay, on the electric guitar, and sang of course. Caitlin did Fashion Revue with her embellished clam digger pants. I thought I took a picture of them, but apparently I did not. I think I will have her make a matching shirt for Districts. This will be Caitlin's first year at Districts. Not because she didn't qualify before, but because she didn't want to. I am pushing her a little bit more this year. She also started Gymnastics last week, and she really loved it. She was sore the next day, saying I used a lot of different muscles. I hope she sticks with it, and has found something she can really love and get into. I would load the video of DJ playing, but I am not sure how, lol. Next up for 4H will be the Suwannee River Youth Fair, in March.  We usually do photography, but maybe they will both want to enter a wood burning project too.  Caitlin can also enter her pants in that fair too.

Gilchrist County 4H County Events 2015

Saturday, was the annual Gilchrist Count 4H County Events. This is the 4th year, my kids, have participated. It was a little bit of a smaller group than last year, but still a good amount for our small county. I don't share images of other people's children, so I only got a couple. Caitlin was in the Fashion Review, showing off her clover she painted on the back of a shirt, and then embellished with blue, green and hot pink sticky gems. It really was quite pretty. I am trying to figure out how I can convince her to do a demonstration next year, bribery doesn't work with her real well. DJ, who is VP of his club, did quite a few things this year. He did a food demonstration, this year, a first, usually he sticks with Science topics. He did quite well. He also performed Keep On the Sunny Side, on the guitar, with a fellow Guitar Club member, and he sang. It was awesome! If you would like to share in my excitement, click the link below to watch him perform. He will be doing both at District Events, in May. They always enter a photograph too, the easiest category to do. Next year, DJ says he wants to enter the cake baking contest. The top winners get auctioned off at the end of the event. Then, we headed to the park for some fun with friends. By the time that was over, everyone was plenty tired. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday. I will be starting the process of starting a Horse Club, so that should be interesting.
