Uff da Daze in St. Olaf was this past weekend and the parade was full of tractors and politicians. If you have kids this is parade for them, it is short and there is a lot of candy to go around for all kids. Oliver loved the parade but couldn't get the concept of the candy. We would tell him to go get it, take his hand over to it, and he would pick it up and throw it again. I guess he saw the people in the parade throwing it so he thought that that's what you're supposed to do. It was adorable! Here's some pictures from the day.
Shawn and Oliver on the Oliver 770
The slow tractor race was after the parade and lunch where the object of the race is to be the slowest tractor. Shawn and his dad raced the first heat together, Chuck on the Oliver 70 and Shawn on the 770.
Well you can see that Chuck won, he was the slowest of this match-up.
The 2nd match-up was with Chuck and a International tractor and as you can see in this race we lost as well. That International tractor ended up winning the race and the prize.
And of course, we cannot go downtown without going to the park so he could "wing." Many tantrums have happened while walking downtown if you don't stop at the park for him to swing awhile. He knows the way to the park and if you don't go straight across the street you'll see a meltdown.
It was a good day, beautiful weather, and a long afternoon nap!
