Tractor Rodeo!

Last Saturday I took the boys to a tractor rodeo! It was out in a little town near here called Wellton, which is about a forty-five minute drive away. It is the farthest from home I've gone with both boys by myself. The rodeo was at the Mohawk-Wellton Irrigation and Conservation District headquarters, on a playfield. They had a tractor pull kind of thing going on, but we didn't watch that since it was dusty and loud, and had no place to sit. Instead we went and looked at all the tractors and old engines they had on display.

Stirling got to climb up in a few tractors and pretend to push buttons.



There was also a jumpy castle for kids which Stirling really enjoyed.

We ate lunch, ("steak" according to Stirling, who smelled it and saw someone cooking at the grill) which included hamburgers and sausages. We also had ice cream, and Stirling rode a horse.


Logan was pretty content for most of the time. He liked looking around. Unfortunately, I hadn't brought a hat for him, since it was cloudy when we left the house, and he ended up getting just a little bit sunburned.

It was nice to do something different than the usual routine. It was also a day that reminded us of Opa and Ry, so we were thinking of them a lot.
