Mason Tractor Show - Friday & Saturday

The kids got their tractors all cleaned up Thursday(and yes, even Mandy cleaned hers!) for the beginning of the show the next day.  So far we have had a great time, been able to use the tractors a lot, and spent time with lots of friends. We have had amazing weather, and hopefully the wrap up tomorrow will go good and we can close the show down with a good Sunday.

Getting ready for the Tractor Show

It was muggy and hot, and we had a quick rainshower, but I got 6 of the 9 tractors over today to the show grounds.  Had some fun driving a few of them around, too.  Less than a week to go!

Alex plays his first Macker

Alex got to play in his first Gus Macker tournament today with a couple of his friends.  It was definitely a learning experience with play a lot rougher than regular basketball would ever allow.  They played well, but didn't make it past the first day.  But after being out in the sun for almost nine hours I am okay with not going back tomorrow!
