State Fair 2016

 The picture above is not from the State Fair but I added it "just because". It was taken at Grand Canyon University (GCU) when we went there for a tour. Several of Hannah's friends who went to go adulting attend there. This is one. We ran into her by "chance" yet I believe it was a God thing that these two got to see each other for a few moments before they each had to part ways.

 Now begins the State Fair pics.....

 Hannah's beach flag.

 Hannah's Valentine's Day jar. It has a candle inside.

 Hannah's lighthouse. I think it should have been 1st place instead of 2nd. I'm still a bit bitter about this one. It's so cute & she worked hard on it.

 Joshua's beachy birdhouse.

 Joshua's fall jar with a candle inside.

 Hannah's beachy jewelry box.

 Hannah's beachy recycled project.

 Joshua's hedgehog made from folding book pages.

 Joshua's flag.

 Hannah's fairy jar with a candle inside. I'm a bit bitter this one didn't get 1st place too.  It got 3rd. It was easy to make but so darn cute. When it's dark & the votive is turned on, it looks like you caught Tinkerbell.

 Joshua's recycled project. Matchbox cars can park in all those toilet paper tubes.

 Joshua's tic-tac-toe game.

 Hannah & her hymnal page wreath. At least they got this one right!

 Joshua's Mickey wreath.

 Joshua's sunflower.

 Hannah's crocheted necklace with a pretty cross she made for me for my birthday.

 Joshua's beachy windchime.

 Hannah's knitted scarf.

 Hannah's recycle tote. She took an outgrown shirt, cut, & tied some fringe at the bottom to make a purse/tote or grocery bag. However you'd want to use it. It's a great way to upcycle well loved shirts when they're too small. Easily washable too!

 This black blob is a shirt Hannah made that she covered a portion of with a ºoº head with freezer paper & then sprayed bleach over it. After it's dried & you remove the freezer paper, you should have a nice ºoº head surrounded by an orange colored splatter. I would have held it up but there was a "guard" in the section so I didn't want them to tell me not to touch our own stuff.

 Joshua surfing in the rock-n-roll exhibit.

 Remember this MTV icon form when MTV played cool music?

 Hannah walked away & pretended not to notice her family during the above pic.

 We love the wallabies.

 These chicks never did slide down for us:(

 Lots of baby chick pics for Joshua....

We went to the State Fair on Oct 12th. We checked out all of the kids' entries, went through the rock-n-roll exhibit, and checked out the animals as usual. I think Hannah earned $33 & Joshua earned $39 but I don't remember exactly. Something like that.
