DS made a paper mache hen in memory of Tillie.

He was going to paint it but it wasn't as smooth as he wanted. I think the tissue paper feathers really made it.

Good job

Funny of the day:

It's National Ice Cream Day! Our library had a "make and take" program with an ice cream theme. DS was hoping it might be a "make your own ice cream" kit or even a sundae bar. He begged me to leave early for our 4H meeting so we could stop by the library

Boy was he disappointed when they gave him a bag with styrofoam balls and tissue paper for a cute ice cream craft.

I think that's bait and switch lol

Yeah, I went there and there was one other place I looked at and it came up with nothing. The ones kinda close to me seem to be shutting down.

DuPage County Fair starts tomorrow (through Sunday). The 4-Hers were very excited to present their projects today. DS did very well, but we won't know the final results until the fair opens tomorrow.

So far DS is cleaning up. He earned all blue ribbons and multiple grand champion rosettes. Like Christmas morning, he was running to each of his categories to see how he did. He will have to decide which project to bring to state.

The big 3 are
vet sci (how shipping affects hatch rate of eggs),
poultry sci (Poultry Collection Connections)
or computer sci (the video game he coded "Triangle Trouble")
