4-H

This was Ali's first year of 4-H and it was certainly a learning experience!  Paul and I are both 4-H alumni but that was quite a while ago!  She took several projects and did very well.  Her best placement was a Champion in her Foods Division!  Which means we will be baking again for State Fair!  :)

Working hard on a project!

Practicing those cookies!  We practiced and practiced and practiced!  The morning we turned them in for judging I commented that it would be a long time before I wanted to see another chocolate kiss cookie! Paul's co-workers enjoyed our efforts though because I needed someone where for all those practice ones to go.  So off to work with Paul they went!

All that practice paid off!  Pointing to her champion cookies!  She claims "I know where I get my baking skills from...... Grandma Kathy!"  Apparently, this mom doesn't get any credit for all that practicing help. ;)

 Talking with the judges during Fashion Revue.  She loved sewing her skirt with Grandma but she was very nervous for this part!  She did great!
