Carter got a new pedel bike on Thursday.  He is 3 1/2 years old and rides a pedel bike with no training wheels.  We rode around the loop at the lake on Sunday afternoon.  He had a little trouble with the up hills but is still a little demon on the down hills.  Kenzie is getting closer to crawling so the end of my easy babysitting is coming soon.  She gets up on her knees and hands and rocks.  She goes backwards until she gets stuck and she sits up by herself if you sit her up to start.

Masters in May BBQ Competition went off without a hitch last Friday and Saturday.  Sponsored by the Appleton Smokin Good BBQ Club the event was held at Jellystone Park in Fremont.  It was not open to the public so I didn’t mention it earlier.  48 teams competed in the Kansas City BBQ Society sanctioned event.  Tippy Canoe took top honors winning 3 of 4 categories and first place overall.  Lucky Q took 2nd both nationally ranked teams while Tim’s Full Belly Deli of Oshkosh, one of our guys,  took 3rd.  1st time competitor iBlade took 2nd in chicken topping his dad who was 4 th.  The cool part of the story is iBlade cooked 9 chicken thighs to turn in 6 for judging.  He dropped one on the ground and threw it away, burned 2 and lost the skin off one of the remaining 6 that needed to be turned in.  Turned in an odd box of 5 with skin and one without.  He also left the back bone on the thighs unlike all the other cooks.  Must have been some tasty tender chicken.  I was part of the organizing committee, we wrap up next week and decide if we want to do it again next year.

John my nephew golfed with Carter, Kenzie and me this morning.  He was up 4 strokes after 3 holes and ended up losing by 5.  I shot 51 today.  Kenzie didn’t sleep for 7 holes this week like she did last week, she was a little crabby by the 9th. 

Carter put his feet in the water at the lake, still way to cold to swim.

Carter, Kenzie and I played our first round of golf this morning.  I shot 47, 8 bogies and 1 triple bogie.  Carter sank a 16 foot putt on number 1 just fooling around, I missed my par putt.  Kenzie fell asleep on the 2 nd tee box and didn’t wake up til Carter rang the bell on 9.  No one was behind us so we really didn’t need to ring the bell but you know how it is to drive past a bell that Carter rang all last summer so we rang the bell.

Trying to move Carter to a pedal bike might take a while.  Last summer he was on his balance bike, no pedals and a little demon.  On our bike ride Sunday Becki put him on the pedal thing behind the big bike.  Carter didn’t pedal much and was mostly leaning to the left except when he leaned to the right and almost wiped out AJ who was driving the big bike.
