Weekend Wrap-up

We just got home from a long weekend at the State Fair. Monty decided a couple of weeks ago that he wanted to show his turkeys and ducks at the fair. I really didn't think that it was a good idea. I went along so I could make sure that he didn't get too tired and all. He did okay. He spent most of his time sitting in a chair. He still doesn't have the energy to stand or walk long. He was had trouble staying warm. The show was indoors but the building was drafty and the doors were open. At one point, we was wearing a long sleeve shirt, a jacket, and a coat. He and the girls had the Grand Champion Turkey and Grand Champion Duck. They won 2 belt buckles and 2 jackets. While at the fair, the girls and I went walking through the fair with a friend of ours. On the way back to the chicken barn, we passed the first aid station and there was a Dallas rescue truck there with its flashing lights on. The girls immediately began to panic and tried to call their dad. They were scared that something had happened to him. He didn't hear his phone ring when they called. Since he didn't answer, they began walking really fast to get back to the barn. They were relieved to see him sitting right where we left him. So was I! I had wondered the same thing when I saw the rescue truck. I didn't want to scare the girls so I didn't say anything. Hopefully, this isn't an indication that they are going to be little worry warts like their mother. We had a good weekend, and I hope you all did as well.
