For The Love Of Tractors…

…And One Little Boy

Several months ago I started looking into where to take Josiah to look at lots of tractors once the weather turned nice (so much for the nice weather!) and I found out about an antique tractor show in Starke at the beginning of December.  So, several weeks ago, despite freezing temperatures, overcast skies, and occasional light rain, Jacob, Elijah, Mom, Bill, and I loaded up for the short road trip.  All for the delight of one little guy.  Let me tell you, he is one loved boy!  We all froze and came home tired, but he loved it and keeps asking to go back.  (Yes, we are a little redneck but not as redneck as the guy at the end of the post!)

This was by far Josiah’s favorite.  He kept trying to get on it even though there was no seat.  The trailer was full of corn cobs.

Yes, it was that cold!

  Poor guy!  I forgot his gloves so I gave him mine.  That only lasted a second and he decided his pockets were better.

This was after I taught him peek-a-boo while we waited on the men.  He loved it!  So funny watching him try to do it himself!

This man was barefoot with flip flops tattooed on his feet!  I guess that allows him to go into stores where shoes and shirt are required :)  I don’t know if he noticed me taking a picture of his feet.

 

Oh, and there happened to be a horse show next door and while they hadn’t yet started before we left, we did get to see some horses and horse trailers (Josiah’s favorite), too.  We’ll have to look into doing that next.
