Harvest

We started something when Emily was 2; we went out to Goessel to get a ride on Pat's cousin John Flaming's combine during harvest. After that first summer, she talked all winter long about going to cut wheat with John, so we knew we'd have to continue the following years.

Jake has had such a great interest in large machinery this spring that we knew this event would be a great hit for him this year.

Emily was pretty excited to ride with John, but she wanted Pat to ride along too.

Jake, however, only wanted to ride with John.

We are so thankful for John's patience with us because we hung around all evening, watching him cut and playing in the grain truck. It was such a treat to get to be a part of harvest. Thanks, John for allowing us to slow down your evening! :)
