Kid Tracks
The Almeida family has moved to Raising Maine. They still will be exploring Maine's outdoors, creating crafty projects and casting chickens in homemade videos. But you will see it all in their new blog.

Kick back - the fair is about to begin

The kids put the finishing touches on their 4-H projects this weekend for the Ossipee Fair (we always have fun at this fair). It opens this Thursday but their stuff needs to be delivered to the 4-H exhibit hall tonight for judging before opening day.

Both girls are entering projects for sewing (L. is sad she has to live a week without her fairy quilt), knitting, crafts and art. L made a poster about being a member of the Trail Blazers and G. put together a YouTube poster about her videos on our channel. Since she couldn't enter an actual video (not a category option at this fair for 4-Hers), she opted to make the poster instead with screen snaps of the videos she personally took and/or edited (which would more than 1/2 of what's on our channel). She also tallied how many views her favorite videos received. It was a nice little practical math lesson that she enjoyed.

So yesterday Fino came home from the store with a special treat for the girls.

They thought they deserved a good rest after finishing up all their projects and fair paperwork.
