A week ago my little family got to spend the weekend at my grandparents farm just outside Stewartville MN. We periodically go down there just to visit with family and get away for a day or so. This place was a second home to me as I was growing up. I would spend my summers working, playing and growing up. Now that I have a family of my own I love bringing them here and letting them experience some of the things from my childhood.

Vienna's first ride on the old tractor |
Regardless of the noise, Vienna loved riding on the tractor. She would just look around and all the new things while riding on her daddy's lap. As her mind took in all the new things, I was busy enjoying the time with my beautiful daughter.
A funny thing happens when I start up the tractor, a peace comes over me as I pull the clutch and enter the fields. My mind races as I ponder my future farming endeavors. I'm constantly getting ideas, setting goals and just trying to figure out how to make it all happen. (more on this later)
There seems to be a common love in our family for farming and farm equipment. My beautiful bride already loves farm animals, most of all pigs, but now I think her love for farming is rapidly expanding.
Why? you ask.
Thats right, she drove it. And looked hot doing it.
