On our way to see cousins, we went through Moline, home of John Deere. We stopped in to the pavilion and snapped some photos.
On our trip was anything short of large equipment, He loved everything he saw and experienced. Here he is with Grandpa in a friend's combine. I love how he tells and retells his perspective of it, including details about the corn shoot, the tractor and wagon, putting it in the trucks and then into the silos. HAHA! What a guy!
We had the sweet opportunity to go on a hay ride...in a manure spreader! It was cold, but beautiful and another thing our little guy loves to recount.
Driver(s) of the hay ride.
He just had his 3rd birthday, so he has taken on some more responsibility around the house. Here he is putting away the silverware, with narration of course...'knife, fork, big spoon, little spoon'
Another shot from vacation, great aunt Janice does face painting, so he had his hands, and feet painted with wheeled things, no surprise.
A great garage sale find...$.25 The thing is I bought it for a quarter, works beautifully, and when I opened the case I found another price tag $6. Sweet, I thought what a deal! I peeled the sticker off and found another price tag underneath for $10. As I chuckled at my quarter type writer, I lifted it out of the case and under the machine was another price tag $35. Well, he has had much more than $35 worth of fun with it and it's still ticking, er, I mean clicking.
At a friend's wedding, learning to play crochet. As soon as the hay bales were discovered, they were the hit of the party for little people, for jumping on and off of.
Here is one from the beginning of autumn, when we cleared the garden. 'Carrots from garden!' the whole time he crunch, crunch, crunched on his carrots.
