On the farm

We went to Nebraska last weekend for my grandparents 65th wedding anniversary.

Tyler loves going to Nebraska because he gets to ride in a tractor. My uncle Steve took over my grandfather's farm. Every year Uncle Steve gives Tyler a tractor ride. One year we went during harvest time and Tyler got to ride in the Combine and help harvest the soy beans.

Before we left he said, "mommy who is the best farmer we know?"

Me: "who?"

Tyler, "Uncle Steve!!!"

I have to agree.

It is pretty neat for me to go back to a place (the farm, where I came to as a kid, played in the hay loft in the barn, rode on a tractor with my grandfather, played in the corn fields) and watch my children do the same thing 25 years later. Even neater to think that 50 years ago my father was doing the same thing here.
