Pedal Tractor Pull!

After a hard's day work!







Today we had the chance to do something extra special! We got to go to Mitchell's first State tractor pull in Marshalltown! Since this was a first time experience, we didn't know what to expect. We couldn't believe how many people were there! We got their plenty early and registered and waited patiently for our turn to pull! Mitchell was the 5th 7 year old boy to pull a 140 pound trailer of weight. He did great and was only 6 inches from getting a full pull! If he would have gotten a full pull, he would have increased his chances of going to Nationals in Mitchell, NE in September at the corn palace which would have been pretty cool for him. Since he didn't do any practicing this time, hopefully he can work hard and practice for the next pedal pull! We were proud of him for getting as far as he did and he was pretty excited about his new shirt and ribbon! Thanks to everyone who came to watch him pull! It was a pretty special day!
