Wheat Harvest Time 2014

Riding with Uncle Sam (I still can't beleive Sam is old enough to drive the wheat truck!!)

It's really special to take Danny out to the field just like my mom took us when we were little. It's what the  guys on the farm work toward all year, so naturally it can be a stressful time. I think having visitors can help eleviate some of the tension!

In the past Danny would get pretty bored after about 30 minutes in the field, but this year he just sat and watched the wheat go into the auger for a long long time. I was the one who was getting bored. We rode with Grandpa Dave in his combine. I have lots and lots of memories sitting at my dad's feet in the combine just like Danny is here.  

Oh and Danny had his very first swim lessons this summer! I wasn't very good about taking him swimming when he was younger, so he's not very comfortable in the water yet. He is more of an "observer" than a participant ; ). We'll be working on that this summer!
