Sheep and Wool ... aka Mommy weekend

This is Andrew's favorite weekend of the year! (cough, cough) Okay, it is one of my favorite weekends of the year.  It is a weekend full of sheep, knitting, spinning, time with my mom, time with my dad, yummy food, and fun crafty things.  Sheep and Wool festival is a national festival which is known around the states in the fiber arts/sheep community.  My dad shows sheep this weekend and my mom goes to the festival to see all of the spinning and knitting arts.  One of our favorite events to see is Sheep to Shawl where they shear the sheep at 8:00a.m., spin the fleece, and weave a shawl with a team of 6 people before 1:00 p.m.  

This year I especially enjoyed sharing it with Elisha.  Although he did not understand a lot of what was happening he really enjoyed seeing all of the sheep.  He would run right up to the pens to pet the animals.  There were many kids there who were much older that were very skittish and he would just jump right in!  

Mom, look in here!
