tractor love

Saturday was a beautiful day.  It was about 55 degrees, sunny and still.  Cody and I decided to go for a walk that afternoon to get out of the house.  We bundled up, got out the BOB and started on our way.  There was a tractor in the field across from our house that was working ground.  Cody saw it on our walk, and stared until he could no longer see it. 

When we got back home from our 2 mile walk, we played outside with daddy.  Cody wanted to ride on his trike, and since he's not quite tall enough to reach the pedals, we were pushing him around the driveway and through the garage.  Well, while we were in the garage, he bailed off of the trike and started running and pointing.  Doug and I were confused...until we looked out and saw the tractor right across from our house.  Cody is still running and saying 'tactor, tactor'!  We take out running after him and catch him halfway through our front yard.  I'm pretty sure if we hadn't stopped him, he would have run all the way into the field to get to that tractor!

We then loaded up and drove out into the field to get a closer look to the tractor.  Doug rolled down the window on my side and I was holding Cody...trying to stop him from falling out of the window becuase he still wanted a closer look.  :)  He was pointing and laughing at the tractor - he couldn't have been more excited! 

I love times like that.  The simple things in life, like a tractor out working ground, can make such great family moments and memories.
