Lyndon chose his pastel art project last year to be of a
Versatile tractor. He had a
wonderful art teacher who helped him to complete the picture. Lyndon became extremely frustrated at one point as others had completed their projects and he had to redo parts of his over and over. Initially, they thought the project wouldn't be to difficult, but later they both DISAGREED! The
hardest feature was the tires, they kept looking flat and they redid them numerous times. In the end the hard work payed off! The picture is
stunning and was a
wonderful end of art project. *Lyndon decided to not take art lessons this year with all of his other activites.
Lyndon's picture received
1st place at the
State Fair of Texas so we had to go see it in person. Momma came with us and we had a
fun day.
All of the art work displayed was
amazing!!!!!
There were lots of
Lego creations which caught our attention for sure. This display was created by LegoLand not exibitors.
Of course you can't attend the State Fair without a ride on the
largest ferris wheel in North America!
Then Momma and Lyndon rode a few rides…I just watched. I can't ride the rides anymore without getting sick!
I probably recited
100+ Hail Mary's as they boarded this ride. There seemed to be a problem with one of the carts and they had to remove part of the track to remove that cart. I would've called them to tell them I didn't want them to ride, but of course I was holding their things. So I prayed!
Thankfully, everything went great and they
loved the ride!
Congratulations Lyndon, we are very proud of you and all of your
hard work and the
dedication it took to complete your
tractor!
Lyndon wanted shots in the balcony of the church, so these are for him.
Then we headed northwest of town to our property that we call the Harris Place. Cody's grandfather grew-up on this land as a child and Cody and his brother were able to buy the land several years ago to keep it in the family. I wanted the cows in the background, but they were closer to the road on this chilly morning for them to be anything, but a speck in the distance.
