So, farm, how did it go? Well, i'm sure... |
We had a bit of a medical emergency here yesterday, (Wife took an ambulance ride and spent 14 hours in emergency room after allergic reaction to medicine) so I haven't had the opportunity to download pictures from the "tractor day" just yet. It was a raging success! All the kids were excited about getting to sit in the operators seats. Every one had their picture taken one at a time, for the church newsletter. I thought the big green combine and new tractor would get all the attention, but my 2 oldies got their share too. Some of the smaller kids actually liked the smaller tractors better. They seemed less intimidated.
There was one boy that seemed to know more than expected. His "Paw Paw" has a farm. He knew all about the combine and what it did. He even showed me a few of the controls and how they operated. Quite a suprise coming from a 4 year old.
Then there was my grand daughter....... She was oh so wound up. Her dad and grampa were, in her eyes, the stars of the show. She was absolutely beaming!
In the end, we ALL had fun. I think the adults had MORE fun than the kids when it was all said and done. There is nothing that will revitalize us old folks quite like a big group of little ones.
We're starting to make plans for a simular event for next year, possibly including a trip to a working farm.
