Harvesting

If you have seen Sarah's blog about these pictures, you can skip this one. For the rest of you, every year the farmer who plants the field next to our house lets the neighborhood kids ride along when he is harvesting. This year, Beth and Leah were here when it was harvest time, so they got to ride on the big tractor. Leah was so small she had to sit on the driver's lap. I think they had a good time. Since there weren't any other kids around for a while, they got a good long ride. I hope that when they get older, they will appreciate how special something like this is for city kids.

Here are the girls climbing into the tractor.

They were in the tractor that was pulling the wagon full of corn after the combine filled it.

After the tractor ride, we threw hedge apples out of the yard into the trees next to our lot. Leah loved finding and throwing the littlest ones.

Beth just liked running in the fall weather.

And Anna stayed close to Mom.
