4H Booth - so proud of these kiddos

Back in September, a friend down here in Florida and I started a small 4H group. We had never done anything like this before, but it was fun to try something new and learn some new things together. There were 3 or 4 main families who decided to join our little group (two other families besides our own). The Central Florida Fair begins this weekend and a few weeks ago, the other leader and I decided to go to a meeting to learn what our little 4H group could do. We decided to enter a booth into the fair.

So yesterday, after recovering from a terrible bout with the flu, our kiddos came and helped Bonnie and I set up the booth. They did a great job. Everyone has had projects they were to work on at home for weeks and then yesterday we all brought what people had been working on, put it together and made our booth. Here is the end result:
Jonathan, Josh, Landon, & Sarah

 The finished product
The theme of the fair was "Indulge!", but we had to do the booth with the 4H themes of healthy living in mind, so we did a booth called "Indulge the 4H way" in which we featured different sports stations where they had to see how many they could do in a minute. (For example - how many baskets can you shoot in one minute, how many times can you bounce a tennis ball on a racquet, etc.) The kids did a great job.
