Wheat Harvesting 101

This morning, Justin yelled for me to come fast and look out his window. Right behind our back yard, some farmers were harvesting their wheat. We had never seen this process so it was so fun to watch so close. The boys were glued to the window off and on all day.


For FHE games, we went to the brand new swimming pool in our subdivision which has a kiddie pool! We were so excited to have Max try it out. It ends up he wanted nothing to do with it. We were there for only 30 minutes when a CRAZY and WILD wind and sand storm caught us by surprise. We quickly left.

When we arrived home, Justin found the package we had been waiting for all day long....THE MOTHERSHIP!
Justin has worked so hard all summer to finish 2nd Grade Math. He's done so well! Geoff and I decided to help him pay for 1/2 of the Lego Mars Mission he's been saving up for by selling his scripture cards.Can you guess what we did for the rest of the evening?

Hurray, the mothership arrived on time! In the photo Max seems to be saying "What's so great about it?"

I love the photo of Justin and Max watching the wheat harvesting. Pretty neat - in your own backyard.
