Tonight was the much anticipated 1st Annual Neighborhood Potato Festival.
Imagine everything potato...a potato cooking competition, a mashed potato eating contest, a "throw-a-hot-potato-at-your-husband" contest, potato sack races and a the potato decorating contest.
A few of the highlights? Allie just loved being outside and spent the night running free. Austin loved the potato sack race until it actually started, then he cried when they yelled "go", and got upset when everyone took off and left him. He was however the first to the finish line- only because he didn't move and the race was up-and-back (we'll just have to train more in the off-season). Lisa nearly killed Scott when she threw a hot potato two feet from her dear husband from 30 yards away- a little pent up aggression maybe?
Of course, as a family we were quite proud to win an award for our entry in the potato decorating contest... We decorated four potatoes to look like the candidates in this year's presidential election. That's right all eyes were on this year's election! Featuring: "Spud" McCain, Potato Palin, Barack AuGratin, and Baked Biden as candidates coming from the field!
Only in Idaho can you have this much fun!

How hilarious! You guys are so darn creative. I love the campaign potatoes, and I'm very impressed.
Only in Idaho! That is completely awesome! You are among the most creative people I've ever known, the potato decorating contest entry is hilarious! (and better than anything I've ever seen!) I'm glad that you had fun at your potato festival. We'll invite you down for the chili pepper festival...I'm sure we have one somewhere!
Isn't Idaho Great. We love it. I just found your blog and thought I would say hi. I was just remembering what a poor visiting teacher I was. GO SPUDS!
Scott, your creativity turned loose on potatoes is an amazing thing. All I can say about "neighborhood potato day" is, ONLY IN IDAHO!
LOVE the potatoes! Ahhhh Idaho! --how could you ever consider moving!? seriously, though, you guys made me laugh! -- Good job getting a prize!
How fun is a potato festival. Wished we lived in Idaho so we could have that much fun! Loved your campaigning potato people...maybe because they were SILENT!!! Ha! I love how you do pages for your pictures. Do tell what program you are using!
You said it, only in Idaho....very clever.
Lisa, I just found your link on Michelles blog! That potato festival was lots of fun. I love getting together as a neighborhood.
Hey, i just ran into your blog from Ginas...how fun. I will add you to my list!
Your potatos ROCK!
How cute! You guys have all the fun! I hope Austin is recovering well after his surgery. Your mom said he's pretty miserable. We'll keep him in our prayers. Love ya!
