Fun On The Farm

The image to the left is something I had not seen in over 25 years, a view from the combine.  Riding in the combine with Dad and Hope was one of many highlights during our family weekend on the farm.  It just so happened that Hope was on Fall Break from her law studies and Heath and Amy were going to take the kids to the farm to ride in the combine, so Bailey and I made a trip up north as well.  When I asked Bailey if she was going to ride in the combine, her response was 'I'm not much of a farm girl Mom'.  But when she got out to the field and climbed into the combine with cousin Lauren, her farm girl attitude changed.  Now she wants to go for a ride every year...or at least until her teenage years like her mom did.  It was fun to have the family together for an impromptu weekend and we may have established an annual family gathering outside of the holiday and birthday gatherings.
