Family Fun Fair

Our stake had a Family Fun Fair to end the summer.  It really was a fun time!  For the cake contest, Jacob made a lego cake and the girls did flip flops.   They really did do most of the work.  It took hours and was a lot of fun to see the creativity in action.  We were wowed by the other entries and didn't win, but hey we can't win everything! 

  

Especially because we won the contest for the biggest zucchini!  We pampered this squash for a couple of weeks.  The girls talked to it, we watered and watered and watered it, and it even has a name:  Zeuschini.  A worthy name for a 14 pound zucchini that is 25 inches long!  


There was a lot of emotional attachment to Zeuschini.  It made a fun toy and it was well-loved.  Jacob helped me to shred it while the girls were away at school.  I did make it into 2 loaves of bread, but wasn't up for the 24 loaves of which it was capable.  Callie declares that she will not eat any bread that spawns from Zeus.  In that case, zucchini bread, anyone?  Because we will be making a LOT.
