The first weekend of August is Threshing Days weekend in Goessel. The weekend kicks off with a parade and then it's full of old tractors, old farm equipment, stepping back in time, eating low-German food, and standing outside in the blazing sun!
We spent several hours on the grounds on Saturday, Levi climbed on tractors, participated in the pedal tractor pull, and a few other kids activities. Noah spent Saturday afternoon and evening volunteering at the annual sand volleyball tournament. Since Noah missed out on the tractors on Saturday we went back on Sunday so he could check things out.
Right away we spotted something interesting - an old chopper slowly eating up bundles of corn stalks.
It was pretty fascinating and made us very thankful for the technology and power of modern choppers.
Rylee and Erica were with us too! We watched some of the antique tractor pull but that didn't hold our attention too long. When the kids finished climbing on tractors and combines and more tractors,
Aunt Erica bought them ice cream! What a fantastic treat on a hot day. :-)
And with that, another Threshing Days came to end for us....until next year.
