This past Saturday was a beautiful day for an early morning calf scramble! The boys have joined our local 4H club and have been looking forward to this event! I mean, we have every other kind of animal -why not add a calf, right?! Actually, we had plans that if we won one, we were making a quick call to Papaw for a calf haul to Sheridan!
Kyler was able to scramble with the older age group, so he and Jayden got to team up . . but older kids weren't allowed in the younger division - so Kyler had to fly solo on that one. Evan was too young this year.
This is how it goes: you run to the calves, grab one (not as easy as it sounds!), harness it and pull it back to the winners circle. Kerry had to give the boys a quick harnessing lesson!
It was pretty comical! The boys took off quick out of the gate, I caught a glimpse of Jayden with a calf in a head lock, then I looked for Kyler - looked back at Jayden and he had the same cow by the tail! Kyler was ahead of the pack - but those calves are quick! Both boys left with sweat in their eyes and cow poop on their shoes and big plans for some strategy planning next year!
Time to scramble for EGGS, now! Evan and I headed to the community Easter Egg Hunt that afternoon. He was a serious egg hunter and a pretty cute bunny!
Then, it was on to the Ducks Unlimited Banquet for some camo, gun and duck gear dreaming!
Evan wanted this painting soooo badly that was in the silent auction. . .for his new room, of course. Kerry bid on it for him and Evan watched it all night! I just dare someone to go behind this baby with puppy dog eyes and outbid him ;)!
We were scrambling for calves early, eggs mid-day and scrambling for raffle tickets til late! It was a fun day of fun events!
