Spring Wheat Harvest

Tonight after church, Cole and I put on our crocs and headed out to the garden. We didn't get too much accomplished until Cole noticed the hum of two large combines in the field south of our property.
The wheat is golden and ready to be harvested. I knew it would be anytime now. It just so happened we caught them at exactly the right time for Cole to get a show!!

I drove the Ranger through a break in the brush at the edge of their field just large enough for us to fit. Cole had a perfect view of the wheat, the "tac TORs" and the sunset! He was in heaven!

After several minutes of bliss, he'd had enough and we went in for bath. A stow-away had latched on to Cole's diaper; a tick! After I stripped his entire body and searched it in 2.5 seconds, I whipped out a lighter and promptly burnt the pest.

If that wasn't enough, while disposing of the tick, Cole left his second surprise waiting under the bubbles in the bath. This Mommy has had enough excitement for one evening. :)

All in all, lots of fun was had at the Wiles this evening, regardless of the tick! Cole is already fast asleep mumbling about tac-TORs and his papi (pacifier). Nite all...
