Brian and I have said for years that we wanted to take our kids Muttin Bustin.... and someone was finally old enough to do it! Brian looked around the different counties and found one really close by, so we registered T. We talked to him and gave it a lot of hype (He has a tendency to not want to do different things unless we make is sound super fun!) Brian gave him a good pep talk about holding on and NOT letting go....
T was soooo excited! He couldn't wait for it to start. He got his number and got in line.... there were only about 30 kids there. Since he was one of the youngest kids he was either the 2nd or 3rd one to go.
Brian had told him to Hold on and not let go....
And boy did he hold on...
Even when he was falling....
and being trampled
He was soo brave! He waved to the crowd and put on his best smile (You can tell he's about to melt.... his mommy already was from the stands.....)
He stayed on the longest of anyone (got 65 points!) There was some mix up and he didn't get the belt buckle, but his Daddy and Papa made sure he got a buckle and trophy... for which he is very VERY proud of!!!
