As most of you may know, Nathan and Nicholas are obsessed with tractors. They love all kinds of tractors but I am sure if you asked them what their favorite kind of tractor is they would say "John Deere". They know different models, what the different tractors do, and they especially love to watch the John Deere DVD's. You read right, they make John Deere DVD's, can you believe it. I guess our boys are not the only John Deere fanatics around. Well, as luck would have it I read in ParentingNH that there was going to be an Antique Tractor show in Eliot, ME which isn't far from Dover at all. There was no way we would miss this opportunity to see Nathan and Nicholas' eyes light up, and the absolute amazement on their faces. We arrived around 1pm, and even I was amazed at all the tractors that were being displayed. At 2pm they had a tractor parade, which was fun to watch. Then there was a tractor pulling a train of kids, and of course our boys wanted a ride. It brought them all around the farm grounds, the boys actually didn't mind sitting next to each other. At first Nick wanted to climb out, but once they got going they really seemed to be enjoying themselves. Infact, they wanted to go again, but with each ride costing $4.oo we figured one ride was enough. We walked around some more then figured we had seen all that we set out to see and decided to head home. It was hot and humid, and we did our best to pump water into the boys, but when we got home Nathan told me that his head hurt, then was saying his belly hurt and that he was going to "throw up soon" , so I grabbed a mixing bowl and sure enough, everything came out. He did manage to get most of it in the bowl, and when he was done exclaimed "it looks like soup", yeah not any soup I would want to eat. Shortly after his regurgitation he was back to his normal self. I am guessing it was either the french fries he ate at the tractor show or dehydration. Either way he felt better afterwards and you never would have known it to look at him. All in all it was a great day and as Dan and I were saying our goodnights they were still talking about the tractors at the show. Can you guess what their dreams were about?

Looks like you found a little piece of heaven on earth for the boys! Our neighbors are super into John Deer too, so I think of you whenever they pull out all of their gear!
I love my "Tractor Boys" and Kylie what you write makes me feel like I'm right there. Thanks for sharing.
