Goat Cook Off 2009

We went into Brady for the Goat Cook Off over Labor day weekend. For those of you not familiar, it's a traditional festival in our hometown every year. We had a wonderful time seeing everyone again after so long. Unfortunately it rained Friday night, so Saturday was really a mud fest when we set out to the park to play games and look through the booths. Though that didn't seem to prevent people from coming out, it was as crowded as ever. Caleb loved the mud of course. By the end of the morning he had it up to his thighs. Caleb was able to ride a pony, play in the bounce houses, and even bungee jump while out at the park. He was so proud that "he went the highest out of everyone." Much to my dismay, he was right. He had a blast. I enjoyed looking at all the crafts and clothes, and found the cutest little girl outfits and hair bows. It's about time I start buying some little girl clothes, Lexie may not appreciate wearing all of her older brothers' outfits. Over the weekend Greg was able to teach Caleb how to ride a bike and get some quality family time, in between Greg's dove hunting of course. Saturday night Greg and I even made it out to the dance to listen to some great bands and dance. It was nice to have babysitters available. Caleb loved hanging out with his grandparents all weekend, so much so that our farewells were tearful when it was time to go home.
