Tractor Pull and Pet Show - September 10

Today was the first day of Castro County Fair, which is always marked by the pet show and tractor pull.

Colter has been catching toads in our backyard on a daily basis for the past several weeks. I asked him if he would like to catch one to take to the pet show and he excitedly agreed. His toad (which was a little on the small side) won the award for "Best Bait"!

Colter has been waiting for two years for his turn at the tractor pull. This year he was finally old enough and he made the most of it. He pedaled that tractor as far as his little legs would take him and all of that determination paid off...

when he won first place in the 4 year old division! He was so proud of his medal!

Sabrina also did the tractor pull and won a ribbon. She was a little upset that she didn't go as far as Colter (after all he is her younger brother!), but then she realized she had beaten one of the 5 year old boys and that made her feel better!

This was Wyatt's third year doing the tractor pull. He also won a ribbon and pedaled hard all the way to the end. He was so proud of himself!
