Papa's new ride

It is always fun heading down to the farm to hang out for a day.  The kids loving being there and going for tractor rides, gator rides, playing on the swingset, and just being away.  Unfortunately we don't get to the farm as much as we should, but, well, it is what it is. 

(Here is Nana and Emma waiting for Evan to get out of the tractor so Emma can ride.)

Anyway, we headed down the Friday before Easter and it was a beautiful day to be outside.  Papa was outside working on spring chores and the kids couldn't wait to ride in his new blue tractor.  After lunch, Evan was the first one out and riding in the cab.

This tractor is pretty sweet. Two seats, remote control for starting up some equipment so you don't have to get out of the cab, surround sound, air conditioning, and, you get the picture.  It beats my Corolla, that is for sure.   Both of the kids loved riding in it and did well, from what Papa tells me.

Here is Emma. She was just as excited to get in and help Papa with spring chores.

Then, of course, I had to go for a ride myself.  No, he wouldn't let me drive. But, who was bragging when he came in that he got to take it for a spin?  Tim!  Go figure.  (sometimes Papa let's Emma or Evan steer and we can always tell when that is because we can see the tractors going for circles in the fields!)

Sage was along on this trip as well and while she didn't go for a ride in the tractor, she did get a run along side the Gator.  Fun for all!
