The photos with the VT cousins were taken from Mom and Dad's camera. Kelly M, I cringe to think of what you're saying when you see the photo below this one. In Dad's nearly 40 years of farming, I don't know that he's owned a 'red' tractor (aside from an antique Farmall) til last year.
The days with cousins were pretty crazy, from what I heard. Mom said there was only 1 meal where they were all sitting down at the same time! It was also chilly, but it didn't keep them from enjoying time outside with the kittens, on bikes, and playing on the front porch (which was converted to an outdoor toy room).
We joined Ellie and Reni a week after dropping them off and thankfully the sun made an appearance...

| Do you see how straight and flat are these Midwestern country roads? A paradise for riding bikes (as long as the wind isn't too strong)! |

| Ellie learned about "cutting wheat" and Reni now correctly knows this is called a "bombine", of which he proudly owns a miniature version in KY. |
The kids were in heaven, loving the opportunity to watch all kinds of trucks and farm implements regularly drive up and down the driveway throughout the days, not to mention riding in the truck with Gjyshe to turn on/off sprinklers and on little jaunts like this round in the field.
One more post tomorrow to finish off the Illinois visit! Come back tomorrow!

Cydil- I know what you mean about the red tractor...it's like Dad is not the same person anymore. Very weird to see it among all the green in the shed.
