Fulfilling the Dream

Zack likes combines. He's always liked them. A lot. But somehow we have never been able to make it up to visit Grandpa during harvest time. Instead, Zack has settled for playing with his combine toys, climbing in it in the shed or watching the home movie Grandma filmed for him.

Thanks to a late harvest over Labor Day weekend, he was finally able to take a ride on the buddy seat (which is much less bumpy than a back hoe seat),

and harvest the barley

and even watch it unload. Finally!!

Wow. And to really make a day of it he got to ride in this, (or at least be in it when Uncle Bruce backed it up a few feet).

He'd like to know why we don't use this when we go camping. It has a big bed.

Such a lucky boy.
