county fair experience
On Monday, our six year old went to Clover Bud judging with his cookie bars. Thankfully, the kind, Ms. Rasmussen, A's first grade teacher was his judge. She could sense his anxiety related to being interviewed, so asked him questions like, "what was your favorite part"--cracking the eggs and mixing with Crisco and "what was your least favorite part"--measuring and putting in the flour. She also asked "did you help clean up?" and his response was yes--I added, he loved cleaning the extra dough off the paddle ;). Anyway, he received a Clover Bud ribbon.
On Tuesday, our ten year old entered her doll quilt which hasn't yet been judged, was interviewed on her brownies where the judge encouraged her to branch out and try some recipes that aren't family favorites--received a blue ribbon. Her third entry was a crocheted headband where she received a red ribbon. Her fourth entry was her heritage project where she received a blue ribbon.
On Wednesday, our ten year old entered her dress, her photography, her camping poster and her hiking backpack--they weren't conference judged, so we will find out tomorrow her ribbon awards. We also discovered that her heritage project was awarded champion in her age group. What a thrill!
Today we are taking a break from the fair, but will be returning tomorrow to work in the food stand and take another look at the Olson families nine exhibits at the fair.

biblecamp
Our 15 year old spent the week at Luther Point Bible camp and thoroughly enjoyed his experience. He was in drama camp and he and his fellow campers made an original play about Nebuchadnezzar where AO played the part of Ned Schneebly. It was fun and had a nice message.
He now wants to be a buddy next summer and experience camp two weeks :) He doesn't even mind having to clean up as a part of the deal.
