Baptism & the Fair at The Copeland Ramblings

We had the privilege yesterday of attending my Uncle Bill’s baptism in Hillsburgh. It was exciting to see him up there making a public proclamation that he is trusting in Jesus to take care of his sin. Uncle Bill is an interesting character, he’s always been an awesome uncle but over the last year it’s been thrilling to have our Saviour in common.

After the baptism and lunch we went to the Shelburne fall fair and entered Canaan in a baby contest! There were about 10 babies in the newborn to 6 months age group. They only had three categories: most hair, biggest eyes & parent-child look alike. Unfortunately Canaan didn’t win but I was still really proud of him. The judges were going back and forth between him and another baby for two categories, so he did great! We later took in some of the fair events like the horse pull and car show. The horse pull was amazing! They had these two horses drag 7000 pounds of concrete! These were BIG horses let me tell you. I took a video of it and will get it up this week sometime. Later we went back to mom and dad’s and hung out with the family, we always enjoy our Sunday afternoons there. We shot some more footage there for an upcoming video called ‘Kenumentary‘, this way you can get to know the guy I had to share a room with for 17 years :o)
