Draft Horse Exhibition

The old West came to life for us on Saturday at the Draft Horse Plowing Exhibition. The boys were mesmerized by the steam engines, wagons, horses and fire trucks.

Bayley and Hayden enjoyed their first wagon ride, pulled by two enormous Clydesdales. Bayley's liked climbing on the antique fire engine. Hayden was more impressed by the draft mules plowing the field.

There was a miniature horse and a pony giving rides, but neither brother cared to wait in line.

By far the highlight of Bayley's day was splashing and splucking in the mud puddles. Thanks to the weather there was no shortage. After a certain point Jeff and I gave up telling him to knock it off. When we got him back to the truck we changed him out of the soaked shoes and pants. It was messy, but it was fun.
