Co pilot in the combine.

[IaGary]

Daughters daycare had the day off so the 2 year old grandson spent the day in the combine with me. We had a blast. He never complained once.

We came to the house at noon to get a sandwich and as soon as he got his ate he said.

"Lets go combine" so away we went for another 4 hours.

Everytime I have put my grandkids in my neighbours combine for a ride they fall asleep before they've made a round in the field! Fine looking boy in your pictures!

Perfect I would say. Makes me jealous for both the place and event. Get the " farm" in the boy and it never leaves to which I can Attest. Are you on the home stretch with harvest? Sounds like you have made a lot of trips to the bin. Migraine

Haha, reminds me of my first ride with my uncle. I rode a little while with him before we were going to make a trip into town. When my mom waved that it was time to go I went to climb down and was not watching what I was doing and I missed every step on the way down. Nothing hurt but my pride. Must've looked real funny though, think I was about ten or so.

Gary -
Absolutely priceless!! Another of those reasons we farm that can't be explained to townsfolk.

Heck, John I did that and I was about 40 at the time. I was still young enought that I got up and looked around to see if anyone was looking. At 66 in a month I would look around to see if any one was looking so they could help me up before I got up. LOL

Gary, that is a fine looking boy, and those pictures are priceless. I have one in my Kodak of my 91 year old Mom and my 2 year old Great Grandson I need to print off.

When my father-in-law passed away recently, my son (now in his 20"s) went down to the barn and got one of the empty Eptam cans. When asked what he was doing, he said he was collecting a bucket of memories. Seems that grandpa used to take Michael into the fields with the cab tractor, and there was just room for him to ride along seated on the can. Those memories can be precious. TAKE A KID FARMING TODAY!

Yep migraine as of now I have 20 acres left.

Gonna take tomorrow off and finish on Monday.

If every thing holds together.

Been running hard for 8 days straight.

Missed your company and help though.

Enjoy that boy spend all the time you can with him . I only have one grandchild haven't seen him since he was 7 he now is 22 . I can still remember him right behind me asking more questions than I could answer . Any time you can spend with him he will remember the rest of his life .

Looks like a fine young fella - there will sure be happy memories of those moments forever.

I have two grandkids - a boy (11) and a girl (almost exactly 10 years behind big brother). We think she's going to be the outdoors one, although we've tried hard with the boy. She's absolutely fearless!

Like my daddy always said - if I had known how much fun granchildren were, I'd have had them first :wink:
