Oats and Tractors

We are still during the week before Christmas. We were in Guthrie, visiting Peter's family and they needed to go get some oats. I don't know where they took the oats, or why they got them. But they needed them. So they took the kids with them to the farm and loaded up the oats, and the kids, in the back of the truck.

Everyone just checking out the back of the truck. I assume it was empty otherwise at this point. I wasn't there, so I'm not exactly sure how all this happened.

Looks to me like Josh was enjoying watching how the oats get into the truck.

But sitting in the oats was obviously far more fun. Josh apparently had a bad string of luck while we were in Guthrie. While they were having all this fun, Josh touched a belt on the auger (That thing you see dropping the oats into the truck)... they had warned him... and lost some skin on his hand. I'm not sure a day went by that he didn't get himself hurt. Fortunately, nothing was serious.

Josh loved getting in the tractor with Granddad.

I'm not sure what Emily is so upset about. But this is our van. She's holding the camera case. My guess? She probably wanted to take some pictures, but the camera was obviously busy. Isn't she cute? Peter just informed me that it was Josh who had the camera and she was just looking at the case. He doesn't think she was actually upset... yet.

I don't think Emily wanted to get into the tractor with Granddad, but Daddy managed to coax her in. Doesn't she seem so happy to be up there? :) Here, she was upset. She may have just been really tired.

Josh apparently liked it better with Granddad. Oh well, Daddy. Can't win them all.
