Bringing in the harvest...

Well we got the privelege to go and do some field work..I actually DROVE a combine!! Can you believe it?!? Crazy as it may sound that is something I've always wanted to do..When I was 18 I always thought I'd be teaching at a school in Mexico, the area I'm from, and on the side I'd like to live on a farm and do some of my own farming..Of course with all the animals and everything to go with it.. Farming a few acres maybe..then reality hit and I realized in order to actually farm land I would need to buy equipment!!DUh! lol..so n e way God had other plans and here I am in Storm Lake, Iowa..I do love it;)
So, to the present.. we went out to West Bend area for a few reasons, with some of
 our gREAt friends, and got to help farm:))
 Once we got their the youngest two kids enjoyed the playground and some barbies...hanging out with mama.. while the other two and my Abraham were going bonkers on the fourwheeler.They couldn't get enough of it. Spinning all over the corn field and every where else possible.
We got out to the field and of course Renato was all up in that combine. He was so excited to go and was in their almost the entire time. It was his first ride in one! The Kids all rode. The guys both drove it yet too. They had fun with it! I of course couldn't contain myself either and just plopped my self down in the combine too, and by golly he even let ME drive that big machine!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it..I'd say I did about 2-3 rounds..It was sooOo cool!! I had a blast.. I only went 3.3 miles per hour the highest:)
Of course that wasn't the end of it..I couldn't leave without spinning around a few times on that four wheeler myself;)  Renato too. We are just all kids at heart:) 

Just thought the sky looked pretty:)



Abraham's driving!!:) He absolutely loved it! This was a day he is not going to forget.



Everybody had to get a turn!
 

Look at'em all squished in there..heehee:)
