Today we had the opportunity to go to Kids Fest in Des Moines! We went with Elden's folks and had a great time together! I went a ittle crazy with the new camera and so are the best pictures! The kids had fun going down the slides, getting their faces painted and playing the games, but their favorite part was the tractor pulls!
Mitchell zonked out after a busy day working hard!

The kids both decided to do the tractor pull this year, which I was surprised that Connor would even try! He did a great job and is so PROUD of his ribbon that he got! Here's a short video of Connor's tractor pull.
Mitchell was so excited about the tractor pull and had practiced this week to prepare for it! Well, it paid off b/c he got FIRST PLACE!! He now qualifies for state and will have to have his next tractor pull in September (great timing for Elden :)) We were so proud of him and Mitchell was absolutely beaming! This video shows Mitchell on his first run.
The boys were so excited about their ribbons, they couldn't wait to show Papa Olson in the hospital! So as soon as we got done, we went to the hospital to show him ! Hopefully it brightened his day! It was a great day that the Lord has made! Hope you enjoyed the pictures!
