Labor Day Weekend

We had another fun Labor Day weekend.  It is always bittersweet, because we love our time up north and want to enjoy every minute, but we know that just around the corner is school.  How did our summer go by so quickly once again? 

Carter in Bill's tractor:

Ryan and Carter:

Kyle with the tractor he drove through the parade:

Bill showing Kyle and Dad his tractor:

If you don't want to drive your little brother through the parade, you might have an expression like this:

Ryan getting his coveted "sword" from the blacksmith shop - a flattened nail.  It's an annual tradition, I don't think he's missed a year!

Kyle was all smiles once he ditched his brothers.  :)

Grandpa and Carter coming in the Case:

They had trouble with their tractor and were being pulled by Joe France.

Mom and I and the little boys attended the rodeo on Saturday night.  We took photos of the arena because it was sooo muddy!

Grandpa and Kyle playing a late night game of cribbage:

This is about all they let me drive - Carter's 90.  :)

Our fleet has grown over the years!

My boys on their Grizzlys:

Jump, jump, jump:

And then jump some more:

Until you just can't jump anymore:

There was a tree frog on Mom's bee catcher:

For some reason, he didn't seem to appreciate me taking so many pictures of him:

The sky was amazing before the storm last night.  The pictures just don't do it justice!
