Kevin and Haynie were thrilled to share the spot light with the girls when Stone Mill's Kennel Sweet won the Va State Derby!! (As Kevin put it the "Daytona" of field trials) When the announcer called out the dogs name as a winner in the speed and drive category, Haynie grabbed a freighted Josie and rushed to the front of the crowd to receive the first trophy (which was a silver julep cup) While about 200 people clapped and cheered, Josie shook her head "no" as the judge tried to hand her the trophy. She reluctantly took it and the crowd gave out a simultaneous "Awwwww" and laughed. Josie was a bit confused by the event - but quickly recovered with no tears just a little nervous look and question "Where is the trophy? And why is the cup empty?" "
When they announced to Stone Mill as the over all winner Kevin grabbed Kylie and Haynie wanted to grab Josie but she polity declined and stayed with me. Josie and I slowly made our way to the front to see Kevin holding Kylie like a football and Kylie holding 2 bowls above her head saying "Yeaaahhhhh." It wasn't long before Josie joined the celebration and held her trophy over her head and cheering along! What a fun time for everyone! We were really glad to share it with Dad too!
Earlier that day we shared lunch with Aunt Susie and Uncle "Dave" at Brian's. They gave the girls the school desk you see here - the perfect snack table for the girls at the field trial! They LOVE the desk!
