Mercedes won 3rd place!!!

We went to the first tractor pull of the year in Glencoe on Saturday. It was wonderful!!! There was a good breeze and the kids were excited. Lincoln sat on the tractor and pedaled a few feet maybe. lol. Hey, he got a ribbon and a can of pop, though!! The kids have to be 4 yrs old for State, but they let the 3 yr olds try it.

Next up was Mercedes in the 5 yr old class. She pedaled her little heart out and there were 2 boys that went farther than her. So we were thrilled that she beat out all of the girls! She got 3rd place and we were so excited for her. There's a lady I work with who's grandson pedaled against Mercedes. He beat her in Glencoe and Winthrop last year and I just sooo wanted her to beat him in Glencoe and SHE DID!! She pedaled several feet farther than him on Saturday so I was so excited! It was music to my ears hearing Mercedes Suedbeck winning 3rd and 2 other boys getting 1st and 2nd. lol. What a great day!

Sierra was up next and she tried her hardest. You know, it's tough because the boys get bigger so it's big competition. She was literally inches short of a full pull, and there were 4 other full pulls, so I told her she got 4th place. There was one girl in the 4 and I told Sierra she easily beat the other girl in looks, so that was important, too. lol - yeah, I shouldn't be telling her that, but it was the truth! Sierra is absolutely adorable looking and the other girl just looks like a big brute or something.

I was very proud of all of my kids over the weekend. :0)

Peace.
