Sheep Show

Ruth had her last big sheep show yesterday, and we all turned out to watch! It was at the Boone County Fair, and loads of fans showed up for Ruth! We seriously had half of the church out there to watch her and Ethel. I was amazed at how much better they were at working together and walking around the ring. I still think it's funny that they have to grab their heads and drag them around. Anyway, it was kind of sad to see her last show, and think that Ethel is going to be sold on Friday. But it sounds like the girls are ready to do it again next year, only this time they want boy sheep... apparently Donatello and Michaelangelo. But we'll see. Whatever they end up doing, I have certainly enjoyed seeing the sheep every time I went out to Mom and Dad's! And Ruth did a great job taking care of them!! Anyway, here are some pictures from the fun event....

Waiting around with the rest of the sheeps :)
