Horses Horses Everywhere

Tomorrow is the 4-H Horse Expo in Madera, and our local chapter Golden Oak 4-H Horse Group is in charge of running the snack booth and pocketing all the profits to add to their kitty. While Jen and the boys headed down to Fresno to shop for the hot dog and nacho supplies, KL and I started last night and finished up today over forty sugar cookies in the shape of . . . what else . . . a horse! It was a lot of work but a fun time with my granddaughter, just another one of those memories I'll cherish forever.


Now the fun starts. After baking all morning we get to sit down and make them adorable!

Four hours of work, we were please with our efforts.

KL created this one . . . a "Paint"

I'm not sure what this breed is but it was fun to create.

KL puts the finishing touches on the last of the over forty cookies.

Ken and I came home to make these "photo buttons" for all the Golden Oak 4-H kids and parents to wear at the Expo.

I neglected to get pictures, but while KL and I were decorating the cookies, Ken decided to make popcorn balls to sell at the Expo . . . when they sell, they will add even more money to the kitty.

Life is good!

Wow, what a hit maaaa. The only item that completely sold out. I loved how the participants were trying to find their favorite breed. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! I just finished one of Daddy's popcorn balls and they were delish. Very good!

Oh, what beautiful cookies! I love those kind and always admire the people who know, not only how to make them, how to decorate them so prettily! Good job and what a sweet time with your granddaughter. :-)
