8/15/16...Went to see Jacob and Adam show their sheep at the fair and later helped Melissa with Jack's birthday party with friends.

These handsome grandsons, Adam and Jacob, are showing their sheep today!

Here they are waiting for their names to be called to line up.  Papa Bill is watching

Cutie Eli, is up pretty high.  He climbed up the back to the top bleacher

Love how happy Livia is in this picture

Love Bruce's eye patch in this picture as he watches Aleiyah swing at the treasure box.  Hailey watching too

Lots of candy from the piñata for all the kids

Kids breaking the balloons.  There are two balloons (cannon balls) with messages in them.
The kids with the messages get to pick out a prize.

Jacob an Adam did so good showing their sheep.  Their sheep did good too.  Nice to see Jared's parents there. We loved watching the boys show their sheep.  So proud of them.  After they were done, Bill and I shared a cinnamon roll and then walked through the 4 H building and the Merchant buildings.  We came home and then at around 3:30 Bill went to a Dr. appt. and I went to get Melissa's three boys and took them to McDonald's so she could get the last minute stuff done for Jack's party.  The boys had fun playing and after about a half hour, Papa got there.  They were so happy to see him, they ran to the door to give him hugs.  We all got out food and ate and then the boys played some more.  Bill brought Max and Evan home with him and I took Jack back to his house for his party  They party was lots of fun and very busy.  It took a little time to get the kids to listen and do what they were supposed to do, but after the treasure hunt, they did lots better and they had so much fun.  The games were great and so much fun.  Good job planning this wonderful party Melissa.  You did a great job with the kids at the party too.  Came home and Kenzie got home.  She showed Melissa and the boys her cat which they loved.  Bill and I watched the Olympics and then the news.  We are supposed to get 2 to 3 inches of rain after midnight tonight.
