It was finally time for the much anticipated harvest of beans! Adam has been waiting all summer to help Pop do beans and take them to the mill in the "new" grain truck. The boys were so excited they were up at 6:30am on Saturday to get a ride in the grain truck. That day Adam also took many rides in the combine and watched the bean head the whole time. Alex rode once or twice, but he got tired of it after a while. Erin was content to watch from the sand box. But it was cold and so we didn't stay out too long. But when we went inside, Mimi had cookies ready that needed frosted. So Alex and Erin got to work!
We also took a trip up to LaPorte where there's a steam engine museum. They have rides on the train that take you through the woods and around. Besides the large steam engine, they have a medium and small sized trains to ride also. There was also a steam lumber mill you could watch. However it was pretty loud and the kids were scared of it. But they also had a steam tractor they got out for a bit while we were there. It was a beautiful fall day and it was nice to enjoy the colors.
