  2. Oh how cool!! We did something similar, called farm fest, with tractors and draft horses. I love how little boys gravitate to tractors and your little guy is so cute!!!

  4. It looks like it was a lovely day in Illinois. I am so envious of you finding those great Mason jars. Everyone seems to be finding them lately, but I wouldn't know where to look.

    The beans look like they were having so much fun with the animals. I can't wait until one of my kids has kids. I so want to be a grandmother and spoil some little ones.

  20. My boys also loved sitting on tractors and pretending to drive. They were fascinated by all heavy equipment, especially bulldozers (which as toddlers they called dullnozers) and fire trucks. The local firefighters used to let my older son sit in the fire truck, but we stopped going because he always cried when we had to take him out.

  24. What a lovely day! Oh, I love those blue mason jars and the sweet photos of your little ones with the farm animals are just darling. I have similar photos of my little ones standing at the railings and also my young blonde son on a tractor. Oh, the days goes fast, enjoy every one! Before you know it they will be driving which will give you your first gray hairs! ha ha!
