corn picking

Yesterday Levi and I went out to pick corn.
We weren’t picking sweet corn from the garden this time.
This was serious corn picking.
And I’m pretty sure it might have been Levi’s best day ever.
Every time Levi sees his dad his arms start pumping up and down wildly.
It is pretty funny.
But when he saw his dad AND this huge combine he was REALLY excited.
It must be a boy thing.
He sat on the floor of the cab and checked everything out.
He really liked looking out the window.
I think we left a few finger prints behind too.
When we were dumping the corn, Levi got to drive.
This was his favorite part.
He tried to touch EVERYTHING.
Seriously, this child never stops moving.
And he doesn’t stop talking very often either.
I think he might talk as much as his dad.
Levi didn’t like sitting with me quite as much.
He kept lunging across the seat to touch all the controls.
He really wanted to drive.
There is nothing better than an evening of combining with dad.
Can you feel the excitement?

    Hunter is going to think these pictures are awesome. He might suffer from a tiny bit of jealousy though!

    I have a feeling Levi might share a certain love of tractors (John Deere, of course) with his daddy. Gotta love the genuine smile -and sheer happiness- on both he & Joel’s faces!

It’s been so wet that it’s too soon yet but the boys love to help combine and look forward to the day when they drive the truck to the elevator!
