Farm Safety Day

Today Gavin participated in Farm Safety Day at the City Park. A lot of hard work goes into putting this event on and it shows. Gavin loves it! He's already asking to go back next year. Last year was his first year and it's amazing the knowledge he picked up from it at such a young age. He still remembers a lot of things they talked about last year. He made his very own First Aid Kit which he is obsessed with. We went to a cookout tonight and he took it with him just in case someone would get hurt. Larry, Maddox and I went to the first station with Gavin. It was basically a petting zoo along with other farm activities.

Gavin shucking corn...we had to tell him to save some corn for the others to shuck.

After the first station (each station last about 20 minutes and then they'd switch to another) Larry and I decided to head home with Maddox. It seemed that they had plenty of help in Gavin's group. We thought we'd head home to get something done. We made a pitstop at the playground.

Us getting something done...yeah right! Maddox found out that Larry's stomach makes a good pillow.

Larry told me before I went to pick Gavin up that he had a feeling that Gavin would win one of the many bikes they had for the drawing. You should've seen the look on Gavin's face when they called his name. I was a little freaked out...I don't know how many kids were in attendance, but I'm guessing 200-250. Needless to say Gavin was pretty proud of his bike. He's all about bikes anyway. It's a little big for him, but he'll grow into it. It didn't stop him from riding it most of the afternoon.

Thanks to all who donate $$$ and time to make this event happen. If it only saves one life, it's worth it!
