Ice Cream Festival

Every year Utica has an Ice Cream Festival. It is so much fun! Tractor rides, crafts, food (deep fried everything including cheesecake) and tons of ice cream are just some of the activies enjoyed. It is very down home Ohio style so what's not to love? First thing we did this year was head to the horse rides. Eli picked the biggest horse available. He did need help getting on it, but after that he was a real cowboy.

Abby getting a ride on her pick of horses. This girl loves to ride.

Here are Abby and Eli participating in the border collie demonstration. They are in the middle group and are being circled by the ducks as the ducks were being herded by the dog. This is a favorite show for us every year. Imagine, dogs that do exactly what they are told...
