REST IN PEACE, JOSEPH VINCENT PATERNO

 
"... You won. You did all you can do. You've done enough.
We all love you. You won. You can go home now."
- Jay Paterno








"... through the tears I asked, who is going to be my hero now?
It's a question everyone in this arena could ask and I do not have an answer for you,
But I can tell you this much, that old hero...
He set a standard that will live forever."
- Phil Knight


FARM SHOW!

My Mom & I have been going to the Pennsylvania Farm Show for the past three years. I really like farm animals and being able to pet them which makes it a great place to go. Plus, it's a free event and that makes it A-OK in my book. Ha! Cheap.


I love llamas (this is actually an alpaca) and every year I make sure to get a lot of pictures of them. This one is Samson. He is my BFF! As we walked by him I told Kyle that I wanted to turn our shed into a llama house, but he shot me down. No llamaface for me! Boo.


Yeah... so my family is a bit crazy! I convinced Karen to get into the empty sheep pen and pretend she was an animal to be judged. I'll do anything for a silly picture. Dad is a great wildlife photographer too. Baa!


Oh look! It's Samson again, haha. I saw him outside of the fence as we were leaving and ditched everyone (knowing they'd follow) to get in line for a picture. My aunt said, "Wow Christine. You really have an eye for those alpacas." Yes, yes I do.
