What is that noise?????

Yesterday while I was cleaning up after dinner, I heard a loud engine that sounded like it was on our property. I was pretty confused, especially since Brian was at work. When I looked out the window I saw a huge yellow tractor on the side of our house. At first I thought "who the heck is that?" But, when I went outside I quickly realized it was our neighbor, Robert. He is a diesel mechanic and was working on this tractor to get it running again. He succeeded! So he was grating the property for us to test it out. Hey, I'll take FREE tractor work any day!!!!!!

He took Nathan for a little spin around the yard.
I was a little nervous with him that close to those huge tires without a seat belt or something holding him in, but he was fine.


You can barely see Nathan in this picture. He is on the patio of the back building. If you look at the tractor, Nathan is directly in front of it below the line of the roof of the building nextdoor. Maddie was running to go see what was going on, too. We all sat on the patio and watched Robert work.


After he was done, I had him knock over the outhouse! Yay!!!! It is gone. I think Robert had the most fun doing that than any of the rest of it. But, he was definatly having fun with his new giant toy!!!
