Lil' Britches

Adin all dressed in his whites.
 Sunday Morning was an exciting day for all of us.  The show wasn't until 1 pm that afternoon, but the kids were stoked and so were the adults.  Adin thought that he should dress in his show whites right away.  NOT!  As any mom of 5 year old boys know, white doesn't last long. 

We spent the first part of the day looking at exhibits and usual fair stuff.  We ran into old friends who we haven't seen in 15+ years for some of them.  Way to long.  When the time came I let Adin get ready and boy was he excited.  From that moment he was Mr. Professional and took the showing very seriously.

Lil' Britches started long ago, I can't even remember when, but Nessa was it when she was little.  It was created to promote the Dairy industry and help get youth who were too young for the Jr. Show interested in dairy and showing.  I remember the first few years it only having a handful of kids.  Boy do thing change.  There were so many kids who took part this year.  It was fabulous.  One of the cool things was to see the kids of many of people we used to show with participating.  Oh the memories!







Adin talking to the "judge", MC Dennis Frame
who is also a dear friend and mentor from the past
when I was showing.



As Dennis, "The Judge" talked to each child asking them different questions about the animal, or their parents, ect. he had a chance to walk us all down memory lane and pick on us, his old 4-H dairy and Jr. Holstein kids.
