DeGooyer Day 2010

Every year around May or June we have an annual family holiday called "DeGooyer Day" where we take a day and spend it together having fun and also learning about places around where we live. Scott also makes T-shirts for everyone to wear. The picture above was the design he came up with this year. We always get a lot of comments about them. This year "DeGooyer Day" was delayed due to being apart and moving along with everything else that was going on in our lives. We finally were able to have it in August. We decided to go to the Kentucky Sate Fair that they were having in Louisville. At the fair they had tons of things to see and do. We saw all sorts of animals, plants, vegatables, crafts, and also were able to get a lot of information about the different places to see here in Kentucky. We can't wait to go and visit all the sites and historical places. We saw huge pumkins, watermelons that weighed more than us and displays that were great. We decided that we all might be able to enter something next year if we wanted to. We were able to listen to jug band music and watch childrens shows. Katia even won a shirt from the 4-H Club. We also learned to dance the Cotton Eyed Joe. We had a blast and by the time the day was over our feet were very, very tired. We finished the day by winding down watching a movie together and relaxing on the couch. Boy were we all tired!
