Pig Weigh-In

 Friday was pig weigh in.  Rusty decided to transport the pigs in the dog crate--and they both fit.
 They are a bit big, and the bottom was bit bent out shape, but we made it there.
 Zane's pig is on the left and Brienna's is the one on the right.
 At the Grovers' for weigh-in--Zane, Joni, Brienna, & Rusty.
 It looks like Zane is riding the pig here, but he is trying to keep the pig still for it's shots.  Right after I took this picture, he got "bucked" off--the pig tried to climb out.

 Ben had fun playing the the 2 dogs--they just sat there and let him pet them.  Our dog and Grandpa's dog just jump all over the place and go wild so Ben really enjoyed these laid back dog.

 One of the Murdock's pigs almost escaped.  Zane grabbed it by the hind leg and I told him not to let go until the rest of them were able to run over and get it.  It was the excitement of the night.
 Zane, Brienna & Chandler
 Something funny was told!
 Zane wanted me to take a picture of Brienna's eyes--they were a lot prettier in person--like they were lit up & a prism light green/blue.  But they are still pretty in this picture.
 Putting the pigs back into our pen.  Brienna's pig weighed 100 and Zane's 125--they still need to grow a lot!  We bought a different kind of pig this year, so they might not be that great for a fair pig.  We hope they make weight!
