County Show

Trace has been raising rabbits for the county show in February. We started with 5 cute little bunnies...

And after our dog met one of them the week of the show, he was left with 4 to choose from. The goal is to have a pen of three rabbits that are identical to each other. He fed and watered them twice a day for five weeks and weighed them once or twice a day for the last two weeks before the show. Chad and I were worried about him getting too attached to them only to have to get rid of them after the show. We didn't want him to name them, but he called them all Gertrude. All five of them.

 All that dedication really paid off. Here he is when they announced that he had the Grand Champion rabbits!

He also baked a cake and got third place for his age group! It was a really good experience for him and now any time we talk about baking a Texas Sheet Cake, he thinks he needs to be the one to make it.
