When Pirate Monkeys Play "Fair"...

Everyone wins.

Mario Girl & One-Eyed-Jack joined 4-H this yr. & showed off their piratey monkey skills at the county fair.



Mario Girl showing her smiley skirt. She got a blue ribbon in construction, & a blue ribbon in modeling for this one of a kind fashion piece.


She modeled this storybook summer dress winning a blue in modeling, a purple in construction, meaning it went to state, & a $100 scholarship for most creative construction.





This is Oreo but not the cookie kind you can eat.
It's the bunny kind that you can eat; if it wasn't so dang cute.
Mario Girl won 4th in Showmanship, & 1st in her class. Apparently this Oreo is a good mini dutch specimen, except for one little tiny freckle on her nose. She is also a good breed for showmanship 'cuz they are so mellow. Which explains why she has not killed over during any of our frightful rival pirate raids. You know like when the neighbor's dogs come over & bark under her cage.


This is Goldie. Mario Girl showed her in open class & won like last place. She still got $2 for it though.


Mario Girl also entered 6 pictures 2 of which made purple, the others got blue. She entered brownies that got a blue ribbon, & a widget thingy that got a red ribbon.
All purple ribbons went to state fair!!!



One-Eyed-Jack entered Totoro the mighty cat in the fair & won blue ribbons for him. The seas where a little rocky that day so the pictures are blurry from all the rocking back & forth of the ship. The Capt'n is going to try & finagle something up to post later.

He entered Aspen the prickly cannonball and got these nice plaques for him. I think he got ribbons too but I don't remember.


He also entered a lego mindstorm robot that he got for his birthday getting a purple ribbon. He also entered a widget thingy getting a red ribbon for that. Note that his one purple ribbon also went to state fair.

They are pretty excited about the ribbons they got. Next year they want to put more in the fair for 4-H & for open class. There is loot to be got at the county fair & this year was just the beginning...



As for the Capt'n & I, we plundered people by selling the magical candy no one can resist!!!!!

Good job on the ribbons and awards. Mario Girl and one-eyed Jack are so cute. They should get purple ribbons for their cuteness!! Oh, I guess that is the modeling awards...

I don't think I would put Totoro in my pocket.

I thought about trying to respond in Pirateese, but alas...I'm not as awesome as you are and can't think of anything Piratey right now.

YAY for your great kids! YAY for going on to the State Fair!

And, could you please send me some of that fluffy pink stuff? It sounds yummy :0)
