A Day on the Old Bishop Farm

This Tractor and wagon of soybeans was MASSIVE!

A ride down the lane to the grain bins.

The kids thought the conveyor belt up to the top of the silo was way cool

Brianna had a nice long ride in the combine (almost fell asleep) with "Farmer Dan" while the others rode atop the soybean wagon

We have some friends who live on an family farm. We thought a "field trip" of sorts would be a great way to spend the day. First we had a picnic lunch with a "real farmer". Then we all got plenty of turns on the combine and some even went on a ride with the soybeans down the road to the grain bins. Talk about your wagon ride on steroids! The kids had a blast and got to see some things most kids only read about in books.

Fall Leaves

Fall is leaving us here in Missouri, which leaves us feeling a little bummed. We love the beauty of the autumn leaves, the cool crisp afternoons, and the excitment of the holidays aproaching.
