Weber County Fair

 It finally came. After all the hard work Tayson put in to raising a lamb, we got to go to the Weber County Fair.  The fair is four days, but some days we only went to feed the lambs and then left.  This picture is the last day of the fair.  We were waiting for Tayson to sell his lamb, so we were having lunch in the back of the van.
 Ember and Sawyer were really good sports the whole time we were there.  Ember is showing some of her prizes so got at the Library games.  She also had her face painted.
 Here is Tayson waiting to sell his lamb.
 This is what Sawyer was doing while I was helping Tayson and trying to take good pictures.
 Here he is in the arena.  UT Kilts bought Tayson's lamb.  Brice and Chad had a bidding war to get the price per pound up.  It worked and I believe Tayson got in the range of five dollars a pound.
 Here he is after he sold Rico.
 He is saying goodbye to his lamb.  He didn't think he would be sad, but he cried and I did to.  You get attached, even if the animal makes you mad most of the summer.  It was a good experience for Tayson and I am glad he got to raise a lamb.  I am saying this after three months have passed!!
This was the pen he had with Tanner's lamb.  Ember is so cute in this picture.  Good job buddy!!
