Tractor Daze

Well last weekend at the Agricultural Hall of Fame here in KC, they had an event "Tractor Daze." I have to say the Ag Hall of Fame seemed like it is pretty interesting, they have a blacksmith shop, a building devoted to the art of raising chickens, a 1 room schoolhouse w/ teacher, a little train, and more.

Riley loved the train (of course), so he and Brian had to take a ride.

They watched the Tractor Pull.


Looked inside old trucks.



And looked at all kinds of tractors. Riley mostly patted on the front, but was able to sit on some of them.

Camping

Over the 4th of July weekend, we drove up to the Bolfing family resort in Cold Spring, Minnesota. Along the way, we stopped in Boone, IA where they have a train museum, and lots of train stuff to walk around / climb in.



Riley got to go on his 1st boat ride, he loved it. Yes I know the life jacket is pink, Riley isn't too manly for safety.



However, he wasn't too fond of the Lake part. Riley refused to touch the water with more than a hand. Oh well, it'll work out. I think over all he had a good time. There were lots of boats to watch, and he ran everywhere.



One of the most interesting parts was the camping. We brought our tent, and camped with Brian's parents. I think Riley enjoyed the tent part of the trip, I know he liked climbing into our bed whenever he wanted. Packing camp was a little challenging. It rained a good part of the night, and in the morning there was still some light rain. We managed to get almost everything out of the tent without waking Riley. Here we are with the last piece to go, the sleeping bag he was on. The trip home was great. Riley was so tired from the last 3 days of being up from 6 am to 10 pm, that he slept at least 1/2 the way home.
