Today was a fun day. Our town had "Ag Appreciation Day". There was a small parade and Rob drove one of the tractors from work (he works on a wheat ranch) and Miriam rode with him. Then there was games in the park. There was a straw maze but I didn't know there would be an entry fee for that and I didn't bring cash, so we missed out on that one. Micheal was in the bib overall contest but he didn't get a prize, of course I thought he ws the cutest one! We had a pinic lunch in the park and the littles had fun playing. We got home in the early afternoon and I am tired.

A horse race.
A sack race. Even the adults got involved!
While I am posting pictures - Here is some corn we brought in a month or so ago. All in all I put up 73, 2-3 cup bags of corn. A record for me for corn!
I made torilla soup for dinner and we are going to eat soon. I made it with one of our own chickens. Our broilers are not quite ready but they are close enough that I didn't by chicken at the store during my last shopping trip.
