We have a couple of wanna-be farmers, so last night when Scott's best friend, Scott called to say he was working in a field close by, we jumped in the van to go do a lap in the combine. Scott is a real farmer, always has been. His "toys" are just the kind Thomas (age 7) loves. Everything about Thomas screams "Farmer". All his toys are tractors and barns, his favorite clothes are the ones that say "John Deere" on them, his eyes are riveted to any tractor he sees as we drive down the road and most conversations end up being something about a tractor. Tanner, Thomas and Vanessa all got to "drive" the combine and the smiles were ear to ear on all 3 of them.
On the other hand, Talisha, Savannah and Isaiah were all scared spit-less of that giant machine. The girls would run and hide every time it came past us. Talisha did venture out to the field when it was quiet and found a couple of "treasures" (rocks) that she was very proud to show her daddy.
We came home, covered in dust but with 3 very happy kiddos, who I'm sure feel asleep, dreaming about becoming Farmers.

Cute pictures Tari! I was surprised to see Scott in your photo at first, then remembered he and your husband are good friends. That's such a great opportunity for your kids to get to ride in a huge combine.
My dad has small tractors, so my boys have been able to go on some rides with him, but not quite as impressive as this! Mateo loved tractors when he was little. He'd get so excited everytime he saw one. Jaxon wasn't really that into them though.
I miss those days of total awe and excitement!!
