Farm Kids, Rummages, and Road Graders

Yesterday afternoon the four of us went back to my folk's to help plant corn, haul manure, disk, and finish the mowing I started on Thursday. Allen had to pull Dad and the corn planter out with the payloader and then Dad had to pull Allen and the payloader out. Sounds fair to me :). They decided it was too wet to haul manure so Allen and David went to disk. David eventually fell asleep (all that fresh air, ya know!) and Allen called me to come get him. Then we went home to pick up lunch for Dad and took it too him on the 4-wheeler (David insists it's a 2-wheeler, not sure why). Dad needed more seed, so we went to get it for him. After that delivery David rode with Allen for awhile. Allen's tractor ran out of fuel so he had to walk home to get the payloader to haul a fuel tank to the field. David ate almost 3 hotdogs and slept through the thunderstorm!! We were busy!

Today the girls rummaged in Huron and since it was too wet to plant, the guys fed cows and fixed the grapple fork on the payloader. David played in the shop, slopped in mud puddles, and put bolts in the top of a distributor cap. He also had fun playing with a toy road grader that my cousins and I played with under the locust trees a long time ago.
