Florida State Fair

One of the things we look forward to each year is visiting the Florida State Fair for 4H. I really enjoy Cracker Country, it is a old time community complete with rope making, butter churning and candle making.

This year we stopped at watched a few shows. I really enjoyed the high divers.

This guy, dressed like a giant baby, dove off a platform that was 80 feet in the air.

We also saw the educational alligator show. I really felt bad for the alligator but I did learn some new things about alligators.

Daddy didn’t come with us this year so I had a donut for him! Daddy, it was YUMMY!

Spring chickens that just hatched. We stood and watched one hatch. It was awesome.

No fear of bugs for me! I pet the Madagascar hissing cockroach.

Learning So Much Lately

 

I worked really hard on my exhibit for 4H and my demonstration. My topic that I picked this year was the parts of a model rocket and how they work.

I helped Mom get all the motors ready for a 4H building project.

B is helping me learn my next kata for karate. I am hoping I can get my blue belt soon.

My 4H demonstration was pretty awesome. I brought in the launch pad and rocket from home and showed people how everything worked. I was a bit silly but Mom was super proud that I got up and gave my talk without too much drama this time.

A fun surprise is when the piano tuner shows up. I love watching and listening to everything he does to make just the perfect sounds come from the piano. Levi, the piano tuner, always dazzles us with a few songs at the end.
