Our new friend, Chris, farms in the area and asked the kiddos to come out and join him on the tractors during harvest. We went one night with Luke and they loved it so much, they begged to go back!
The kiddos took turns in the grain truck, combine and tractor with the grain cart (did I get all those names right?? This city girl was in the different world out there in the field!) They loved playing with all the buttons and talking on the radio to each other.
Even Leo did pretty well. He made it up and back a row in the combine, but then he and I walked around while the other kiddos kept riding.
The littles rode in the the grain truck to the elevator. The highlight was free suckers from the lady working there! They are so inquisitive. Dominic was especially concerned about the fact that all the farmers wore baseball caps rather than cowboy hats. “Why don’t they wear farmer hats, mom?”
I loved being able to give the boys a little taste of farm life and this momma learned a few things, too!
