Garrett and Gannon have been entering projects at the fair for years now and we decided it was time for Garrett to have a "bigger project"! He was signed up for a garden plot and was excited to get it all set up. The kids on the garden plots are according to the rules supposed to do the plot themselves. No problem here we weren't allowed to help him! He had a plan in his head how the flowers should go in and he had his "pattern" worked out in his mind. Garrett loved creating this project and did let us help with a few of the final touches. This years theme was "Thank You Veterans" so it was really simple to find material for this theme. I painted little crosses to add to his plot and he was fine with us putting these where we wanted them to go. He added little flags in front of each! J
BLUE RIBBON FOR THIS ONE!
Wheel barrows are one of the projects that we have done for years. Garrett is good about following directions to put lots of plants earning a blue ribbon. Gannon on the other hand likes to do things his own way and will not take much direction to adding more plants were needed. His wheel barrow is also much smaller, earning a red ribbon.
Potted plants and succulents are our other "normal" entry. Only one of these received a ribbon this year, I guess the judge forgot that these are kid projects and wanted more from them.
Always fun to get their projects ready.
