Antique Tractor and Truck Show!!

Love all the expressions!!

Fall is Nathan's favorite time of year, so it's a little sad that he has to be at school all day long every Saturday now. He leaves the house at 6 drives to the train station and heads downtown to University of Chicago campus and has two 3 hour classes to attend before getting on the train again to come home usually at about 7 at night. The boys and I really miss him on Saturdays so we like to find activities we can go and break up the day a little bit and enjoy the fall season and colors. This activity was to the Antique Tractor and Truck show in McHenry. The Patterson's who have two boys Ethan and Blake came too which made it even more fun since all the boys have a great time together. Machine after machine the boys gave us their best engine sounds and actions to driving. They had tractors, cement trucks, excavators, bob cats, 1957 Chevy, semi trucks, and a horse trailer that Clay yelled out "My Grandpa Ron has one of these!! Just like this!!" So much excitement for a trailer filled with cow muck, love it! There was an old barn as well where the boys each made the letter of their names with glue and lots of different kinds of grains, seeds, and beans.

It's not as fun without Nathan there with us, and I'm sure he isn't doing jumping jacks over going to school to get his MBA but these are the things he does for our family to provide for us and make sure we have all that we need. We are so blessed with such a great father, and husband who thinks of his family first and steps up to the plate. We love ya tons! We won't rub our fun times at ya too much :)
