24th

were always lucky enough to get to celebrate the 24th up in wallsburg
it starts out in the morning with a little parade all the kids get to decorate grandpas 4 wheeler
and pile in the back bucket to throw out candy

this was the first year it was done all by the grand kids

em and jen got to be the drivers

( just a little scary)

then we head over to small rodeo where they have

the chicken/rabbit chase

its where all the kids line up and they let go of these scared to death
chickens and rabbits and the 100 kids come running at them 100 miles an hour

matts usually got one of the kids by his side and has never came up

empty handed

this year he pulled through jace and matt

caught a chicken

and max caught a rabbit.

what a blast.

How many kids did Matt plow over to help Jace get that chicken? It's a nice one!

WAY TO REPRESENT!!! The boys are so brave to hold that chicken so nice and tight. What did you do with the animals? Do you have your own little Heaps farm on your land?
