2010 Logging and Threshing Show

The White Pine Logging and Threshing Show has been an annual tradition for our family since I was little.  I used to camp there with my Aunt, Uncle, and cousins.  It has also been a tradition for my boys to attend every Labor Day weekend as well.  This year was no exception.  The boys had a great time playing with their cousins, checking out the petting zoo, and most importantly, riding tractors through the parade.  Here are some of the highlights of the show:

Carter had a long day at the tractor show.  After being poked in the chin with his 'sword' and missing a nap, he was catching up on a little sleep on his Godfather, Shane's lap:
