friday

There is nothing better than getting to ride in the combine 

with Dad on a Friday afternoon.

At least there is nothing better if you are a little boy.

Joel was combining soy beans in a field right by our house this afternoon,

so we went out to visit him.

Levi played in the dirt for a while until the combine drove up.

Playing in the dirt was pretty awesome too.

But when we climbed into the combine Levi was in heaven.

He sat still like this for almost twenty minutes.

Seriously, twenty minutes...

and he hardly moved.

I think that might have been a first. :o)

He did occasionally look back at us and smile.

And then he realized he could crawl around...

and eat the dirt of the ground...

and touch everything is sight...

and he was back to his old self.

He thought it was pretty great to drive with dad too.

He told his dad how awesome his combine was.

And then he tried to take over.

I love that this is just the beginning of so many memories 

that Levi and Joel will have together.

Have a great weekend!
