The Big One...

So, we made it through the longest show of our year. The trip up was without incident and setup was a breeze. The "Shangri-la" made its debut... Unfortunately, with all the births, swine flu and other stuff, "Verlene" didn't get to actually enjoy the comforts of these luxury accommodations.

The Burns' stopped in for a visit and we had a blast entertaining, eating and even giving pony rides on Nick.The show itself went pretty well.

Everyone performed great, but Ashley creamed the competition. The pit crew worked like a well oiled machine, even in the 100 degree heat!Ashton was a big helper, trying to earn some prizes. She made out pretty well. And I think Kristy may have gotten dirty a time or two...

Of course, we had the annual "off-road golf cart" adventure.



I think Shannon was pretty brave for her first time out...

All was well until the ride home. I hear we are down three trailer tires and something about Dad sleeping in the cab of his truck with a butcher knife on the side of the road. Good times, good times...
