Eli's Fair Crafts

 Eli had a great year at the fair this year. She entered 3 pencil sketches and one collage of her original crochet pieces. She got one 1st and two 2nds on her sketches, and 4 ribbons on her crochet pieces. What fun! We are so proud. Mike wants to add Lego creations in next year's fair.

 A large python of the Reptile Man from the fair. It was @ 9 feet long.

A warm summer day is much better than a cool June rainy day!

 I cannot figure how to flip my pictures. Anyway, a rainy hike in June, the same hike today. What a difference in view.

A little Jedi magic at the end of the hike, otherwise known as a tree needle stuck in the air from a spider's web.
