Big John Deere

Yes, I definitely have country kids now.  When you know the name of most tractor attachments and you see as many horses as businesses on the way to town...that's what I call a country kid!  Of course, that comes from a decidedly city raised Mama.  Andrew thinks it's all oh-so normal!  So when we heard and spotted the big John Deere tractor, yes Michael knows the difference between a John Deere and any other, we got excited.  The land owners FINALLY came to mow the big field next to our house.  It had gotten to tall we couldn't walk through there anymore...it was about waist high to me in some places.  So they had this big John Deere with a bush-hog sent over to do the job.  Needless-to-say Michael and Mary Ellen were thrilled to watch this big tractor in action.  When he finished for the day we decided to go take a looksie!   

Michael wanted up first.  He loves to sit on our "tractor", that is our little riding lawn mower, so you can imagine how excited he was to sit on this one.

Mary Ellen got a turn too.  They loved to turn the steering wheel and even tried to do the gear shift.

Love this last shot of them in the front end loader with the sun setting.  You can see our house in the background.  We were sad when he finished his work the next day and the tractor left.
