Plowing Party--Woohoo!!

While we were checking out campgrounds along the Mississippi this weekend we ran across a plowing demonstration where they were using antique tractors and plows.  Bud was thrilled to reminisce about his life as a farm boy back in the day!

Here is a guy driving exactly what he used to plow with--a G John Deere and a three bottom plow.

Of course the BEST way to do it was to stand up, which is how Bud remembers plowing.

Now, there's your little "slice of Iowa in the good ole days"!

Keepin' Busy

Wow, it's October already!! We all have been busy...Travis is either at work or in the fields helping with harvest. Kerry keeps busy at work, home, and helping on the farm where she can. And Chance, he keeps everyone busy!!James' girlfriend Kelley was nice enough to take family pictures for us a few weeks ago. They turned out great!

We are stilling trying to make time to get in as many Hawkeye football games as we can. Trilby has been great...she watches Chance for us while we are at the game.
Chance spent some time tailgating with us last Saturday before the game. He enjoyed seeing his Nana and Grandpa Bud, Aunt Trilby and Aunt Tasha and his cousins. He also loved talking to everyone that walked by!
