MSrba convention part 1

What a great trip we had. On the way down it was snowing like mad and the roads where just awful, but my dad still drove me to Vaughn Mills where we waited about an hour for Jen (Jentle Lops and Woolies) Bass Pro Shops is amazing!!! I spent my time teasing the big fat fishies. Finally I bid farewell to my dad and Jen and I where on our way to Kitchener to pick up Jessica (BumbleBeary Angora's) which took much longer then normal (about 4 hours). We somehow manages it get 11 bunnies, four of which where English Angora's in enormous carriers into Jen's little Chevy Aveo hatchback, which was a very tight squeeze. A couple hours later and one rest stop we make it to the border which we had to issue getting through, (it was on the way back we had issues)


Another couple hours later and after numerous wrong turns and bad directions we make it to the hotel which had lost our reservations, then they gave us a single bed room, and then finally a room with two beds. We got to bed around 4am. We managed to sleep in till an amazing 6:30am. Then we had to get to the show, so once again we got lost and missed our turns but we made it and got our entries in. Arya got Best Blue Sr doe, but she was the only sr doe. The Dutchman who I sold to Richard was best sr buck and best opposite sex lynx out of 2 lynx all together. Meanwhile on the English Angora front Jessica was kicking butt and won Best Of Breed with Calliope, shortly followed by Jen winning Best Of Breed in the Jersey Woolies with Cesar.

We had dinner with another Angora breeder but before we actually made it to Bob Evans, we where driving around looking for a Denny's that had closed like 2 years ago which was extremely funny. We got back to the hotel late but stayed up and "judge" our bunnies, we turned in around midnight....

more to come soon...
