It's that time of year again! Not only are we excited about cooler temperatures the first weekend in October brings but it's also time for Davy Crockett Days in our little town.
Remember last year when Charly took home 2nd place in her age group at the bike rodeo? This year Piper got to enter and show this little town how to rock and roll on a three wheeler.
The girls were both pretty excited to participate. Piper showed up with her little balance bike Nate and I made her but she could barely reach the floor on that thing, so when I saw another little one rocking the tricycle I rushed back home to switch Piper's ride out. It's a good thing I did, because even though she can't reach the pedals on her tricycle, she still peddled Fred Flinstone style fast enough to earn her second place.
Both the girls got pretty great prizes. Charly was pretty surprised when they called her name for first prize, but I think she was trying to act like she didn't know she was going to win. I have a feeling she saw it coming.
Piper was so cute and proud when she accepted her trophy. Don't have pictures of that because right before awards I broke my lens in half. Had to wait until we got home to get their trophy pictures. Also, in true Piper style, she broke the wing off of the eagle on her trophy in the first five minutes when she dropped it. She is so funny! If you look closely at the pictures you may be able to see the broken wing, totally suits Piper don't you think?
Nate will have to hear about it tomorrow when he gets home from guard duty, I can't wait to tell him all about it!
I just hope next year Piper will be able to reach the pedals of a 'real' bike. LOL
