On Monday night we visited the Youth Fair, where CK showed hogs and steers for 4-H when he was growing up. He said it looked exactly the same from when he was a teenager showing animals and it was fun to see a part of his past that was such a fond memory. We reminisced about 4-H, raising and showing animals and saying goodbye to them (I showed steers for 4-H for five years). It made for a very fun night and a great way to introduce Sofia into a world she hasn't been exposed to yet. CK's friend's daughter had a steer at the Youth Fair, so we visited her before her time in the ring and then found a good seat to watch the judging. It really brought back some great memories for both of us.

Boiled peanuts - a Florida staple. I'd never even heard of them before having them with CK one of the first visits to Florida together. This batch was a little over-salted.
The showing begins!

Sofia meets Samantha's steer. He wasn't nearly as interested in meeting a little kid as she was in meeting him.
