This past Saturday was Tractor Day! We woke the kids at 5:45am, got them changed and loaded them into the truck (with their blankets) and headed to Fairfield to get our tractor. We were all super excited. It isn't a huge tractor, but it has a 60in belly mower. We also got a bush-hog and auger so we should be able to dig post holes and cut some grass.
Anyway, we got to Fairfield a little after 7am and stopped at McDonald's for breakfast. Then we went to Lemond's to pick up the tractor. Well, things always take forever so we were there for a couple hours. The kids didn't mind. They got to play on the 4 wheelers and tractor!
Once we got home we went out to the property (now called the farm) and Seth messed around with the tractor for a while. Then he and Luke mowed while Claire, John and I had a snack and Barnabas took a nap. We ate a late lunch at Gary's (local burger dive). Then I took 3 kids home for a nap and Seth and LUke mowed more. They got 3 acres mowed in about 3 hours and then played with the scoop and bush-hog.
For dinner we went to Chico's (local tex/mex joint). We got to eat out all 3 meals so it was a true vacation day!
After baths, everyone was ready for bed.
It was a great family day and a big day on our pursuit and goal to have a hobby farm on our land and maybe one day live there too!
