Snow & a pig show

Yes, that's right. I said a pig show. I took my boys to a Lion's Club-sponsored FFA/4H pig show. I must tell you, I have never seen pigs such as these!

Nathanael is standing in front of just a few of the 400 pigs that were at this beauty pageant for pigs...seriously, because I had no idea what was going on, I asked the lady in front of me how the pigs are judged. She basically said poise and posture and fat/muscle ratio. TOO FUNNY!

There were pink ones with black spots and black ones with pink spots...the 2 showings that we watched were pigs that weighed between 200 and 225 pounds. Do they have shows like these in Maine? Just wonderin'!


Kyle was content just chewing his gum!! Tomorrow we are going to the sheep and goat show. I can't wait!!

We also had snow today! How exciting!

Margo it is so great to "see" the boys. Where is Ian? We do have all kinds of pig shows round heah. Yup we do. Hadn't you ever taken the boys to the Common Ground Fair in the fall?! One of the best Agricultural fairs around. My favorite. We missed you at coffee this morning. Not the same without you. Hugs and Prayers, Lisa
