Dakota Fest

Tate participated in the pedal tractor pull at Dakota Fest for the first time this year. I think it was much harder then he thought it was going to be considering he was only able to pedal for about a half a pedal. I almost didn't get a picture it happened so fast.

Didn't want me to take his picture before the tractor pull.
