No!! The Vitamin C can't be empty. This is bad.
Things go from bad to worse.
But help is on the way.
Must have Vitamin C. Must.
Eating it in the raw.
Dad comes along. "I think I may have gotten what you need."
Half-crazed Conrad: Say. It must come in a new format these days. I always did think of Vitamin C as candy... but... cotton candy?? Never thought I'd see the day.
Just so this comedy doesn't turn into a tragedy...
...let me assure you. They got their Vitamin C.
It not only looks good enough to eat; it is good enough to eat.
Her crowning achievement in the realm of baking.
Cramming on the catechism, Candace? Never let for Saturday what you can do earlier in the week.
We join the stream of humanity.
Some come for the shows.
Others come for the food.
Some come to sell the food.
And someone has to come to take care of all that trash.
So what did we come for??
What we did not come for.
The answer is... We came to enter that cake, and check out the competition.
Not that we were opposed to doing other things as well.
When I saw this, my eyes popped open and I popped my lens cap off. Just thought it was the appropriate thing to do.
Wonder what Grant Wood would say?
Methinks a man in the Bible sat in a window once. That time it didn't turn out too well.
Third in the nation for egg production? Well, it certainly isn't because of our chickens.
It sounded like an invitation to Emma. :-)
"There's my wife's uncle's tractor!"
Rodeo
It's all old hat to him.
That looks like a new hat if you ask me.
What do you think it took for that little guy to be able to cut the rod in his mom's mouth with his whip? (The answer is in the top left hand corner.)
Sorry, sir. I told you. That is not what we came for.
I think this guy was the stadium clown or something. At any rate, he announced to the whole stadium that Emma and I were taking pictures of him. Unexpected publicity for sure.
My first real chance to try some panning.
Police behind bars - that's a new one.
These folks had ended up somewhere they weren't supposed to be. We were at the same place.
The Farm Show is 93 years old after all. You would expect it to have a few gray hares.
At one point, we met up with some folks who looked as if they'd come straight out of the rodeo.
The 2010 Hershey Baking Contests
I trust none of you are feeling too hungry just now.
And I trust that you (talking to judges) are.
Yeah! I get to eat chocolate for a living.
Taking off her glasses? That's no good. A judge can't be blind to imperfection.
Everything's got to meet her specs...
...and she seems to think she's found the winner already.
Not everybody makes up his mind so easily.
Since Candace didn't win the cake contest, I had to find my big scoop somewhere else.
A hurried little family conference. "Mom called. We need to get started for home now."
Financial training starts early in this family. Lesson No.1 Hold onto your money. ;-)
Though I did take this one. Doesn't it look like it could be the magical entrance to a fantasy world. The Land of Enchanted Meadow for example. :-)
Like I said, I'm not the only one who takes photos. Sometimes Candace chimes in with a picture or two.
Conrad prefers to focus on the smaller things of life, namely the microscopic.
The World of Dust Bunnies
Yeah... she does have a little to learn about photography yet. :-)
