Harvest 2009

Upon arrival in Washington the boys got their PJ's on, went to the playroom and got ready for 'war'. Who better to war with than a tall brother/dad who can pick any one of them up, spin them around, throw them to the floor, and chase them all in and around the house? Yes, Jason is an excellent candidate. Whenever Jason gets together with his bros, 'war' soon follows. Boys.
This war didn't happen that night because it was WAY too late and Max was sleeping. They sure had fun getting ready though.
The kid sized driving tractor was found almost the instant we walked through the door.
Looking for onions, it is so much fun trying to find them. Also a huge field to run around it was made for an excellent way to wear a kid out.
We got to put the pickup right under the potato digger and watch as it filled up the back. Levi was quite amazed.
Afterward we got out to chat with the owners and were able to grab just a few more missed potatoes, as if we didn't have enough in the truck.
Nothin like picking apples. The hunt to find the hugest one! And some, it seemed, were bigger than Max. Yum!This was Levi's first year really participating and he's a natural, with a little coaching from his uncles.
Taste testing.
Loved it! To quote Levi "so good"
Havest 2009, I must say, was a success!

I realize I don't have very many pictures of my little Max on this trip and I don't want to leave him out. He was such a good boy as we worked. I kept envisioning one year from now him toddling behind his big brother and uncles. What fun! I sure do love that sweet little man of mine.
