Riding on Grandpa Brad's Tractor

Elliott is becoming quite the truck and tractor man these days. He was thrilled when we went out to Grandpa Brad's shop to see his big equipment.

In the big log picker (I'm sure there is a more appropriate name) with Daddy.



Clearly he is not having any fun.

Hayden way up in the driver's seat and Elliott wanting to get up too.

Beautiful blue pine logs.

Lumber like this went into our awesome new dining room table that Brad and Cale built.

Another state, another set of hearing protection.

I wish I could have captured all the smiles on this ride. Elliott and Hayden were grinning ear to ear.

He wouldn't take them off.

I love those cheeks.

Grandpa Brad kindly gave Elliott the ear muffs and wrote his name on them.

Cousins sitting on tires.

And off on adventures.

Elliott still wouldn't take off the ear muffs when we got in the car.

He was so excited to be wearing them. He's looking in the mirror in this picture. The ridiculous part what that the ear muffs were too wide for him to put his head fully back in his car seat. He insisted on wearing them most of the way back to the house in spite of this.
