A Boy's World

Last weekend we headed to FC for some R & R.  Eli is starting to love going to the farm.  But then again, what boy wouldn't like going... hunting, fishing, tractors, four-wheelers, open fields, no one in site for miles?  What's not to love!  I even like going to the farm!  Eli is mesmerized by tractors.  Last time we were at the farm Grandy took Eli for a ride on the "baby tractor" as Eli called it.  Grandy promised to take him on the big tractor next time he came to visit.  Don't think Eli forgot that promise!  Of course that was the first thing he wanted to do!


 
Eli was super excited!  I think he's probably been dreaming about it ever since we were there last time!

 
Once Eli was buckled in his seat he immediately says "close the door, Daddy"!!  He was ready to go on a ride and dig up dirt!




After the tractor ride he got to ride on the four-wheeler.  Another favorite thing of Eli's!

Eli watching Grandy bait his hook with a cricket.


Chad helped him cast the fishing pole in the perfect spot.  And then believe it or not, Eli caught his first fish on his very first cast!  We were all super excited!

 
Chad tried to get Eli to touch the fish.  Eli's response, "Ewww, yucky!".



Cutest little fisherman I've ever seen!


It didn't take long until Eli was bored with fishing and wanted to do nothing but throw sticks in the lake!


What a perfect ending to a perfect day!  Look at this beautiful sky!


Eli woke up the next morning and saw Grandy in the field on the tractor.  Grandy pulled over and let Eli jump in to ride one more time.  Eli was still in his pjs! 



Now this is living the life... Eli thinks so anyway!
