Long Grove

We went to Long Grove for Laura's first race in the Long Grove Strawberry Festival. It was a success. Laura ran with GG because she said she was just a little bit scared. I held wrestled with Sam at the first corner of the 1/4 mile race. When Laura rounded the first corner, the look on her face was priceless. It was a combination of determination, concentration, and exhaustion. Although she was the second 3 year old to finish the race, she was in the bracket of 3-4 year olds. Laura asked GG why she didn't get a trophy and GG tried her best to sugar coat the answer. Eventually Cole turned around and bluntly said, "Because you didn't run fast enough." Sometimes the truth just has to be said.

Sam loved being on the farm. There are so many things to push and pull around and he just loves his Papa Green. He's definitely a country boy through and through.

This morning Laura said, "GG and Papa's house is so much fun. We should go back there very soon."
