HAMBURG PEDAL PULL!!!!!

Good lovely morning everyone!!!
There was a pedal pull in Hamburg yesterday and it was also Father's Day. I have to say that I think this was the best Father's Day we have EVER had!! It was in the 90's with extreme humidity, but the girls really wanted to go to the pull and so did I. Jon really didn't want to, but he said he would go. Lincoln was able to try it again as a 3 yr old and he had everyone laughing!! There was some "give" between the tractor and the trailer, so he was able to pedal a little ways, but then he would stop and pedal backwards and then forwards. Everyone was seriously laughing! lol. I bet he did this maybe 4 times and then that was enough. lol. It was really cute. He got his ribbon, can of pop and a ticket for an ice cream cone, so he was thrilled!

Next up was Mercedes. She was so excited and "pumped" to do it. Well, SHE GOT FIRST PLACE!!! Her trophy had a tractor on it and everything. She was so excited that she won 1st place. As we stood in line, there was a lady who said to me, "Oh, I remember you from last year and your daughter placed." I told her I didn't remember her at all, but apparently she did remember us. I believe Mercedes got 1st last year, too, but I'm not positive. I suppose she thought "Ugh, there's that tough girl again and my daughter won't have a chance!" lol, yep, the Suedbeck's are in the house!!

Next up was Sierra. She was so nervous and the last week she's been telling me how much she wants to go to State this year. Well, she had a rough year last year because this "big girl" is always there and we cringe when we see her because she's always beat Sierra. Now we're like the other mom who tells us that she remembered us. We remember this other girl! Sierra had her mind set that she was going to place at this one and she kept telling me, "Mom, I don't see that big girl!" I always tell her that even if she doesn't win against the big girl, she has her beat in looks! I shouldn't say that, but it's the truth! Anyway, there was one full pull and Sierra then also got a full pull!! No one else did, so Sierra was so excited that she knew she would get either 1st or 2nd and that meant she qualified for State! The look on her face was priceless. She really set her mind to it and put her heart into pulling. The girl got another full pull and Sierra was probably a few feet behind her, so SHE GOT 2ND PLACE!!!! She was sooooo excited. The girl who got first was absolutely adorable, and I don't think Sierra ever pulled against her before, so that was ok. lol. She was absolutely thrilled and I was so proud of her!

I told both girls how happy and proud of them I was. It was amazing!

Jon then grilled hamburgers for supper and made an awesome dishes for us. We ate on the deck upstairs and it was perfect! We all said this was the best Father's Day ever!!!!

PEACE.
