Tractors, Combines and Corn... oh my!

We just got back from a busy, fun, family filled trip to Minnesota.  We were there for 5 days and every day was packed to the max.  The kids were amazing travelers.  I couldn't have asked for better behavior on this trip.  They made it easy for Mom and Dad to have lots of fun too!
We visited a really cool World War 2 museum.  It had so many cool planes... Carson was in heaven!
We drove down to Canby one day to visit Grandma Hazel.  The kids loved riding around on her walker, and she liked watching them play.
Papa Willis collects tractors, and he had 4 in his garage that he let us play around on.  Fun for the whole family!  Who doesn't love a good, fast tractor ride?
Uncle Brad and Aunt Barb's house was a ginormous playground for all of us.  We got to ride in the combine while he harvested some corn,  ride around on his 4 wheeler, hang out in some big trucks, and Rylee's favorite- play with the baby kittens in the barn.  She said that was the best part of the trip.  She even named her favorite kitty Sarah.
Grandma Arlyss put on a great party to celebrate Mandy and Jon.  It was fun seeing (and meeting) family that we never get to see.  Of course the food was amazing too.  We played a lot of bean bag (I should say WON a lot of bean bag), and played lots of card games.
Sunday we had Carson baptized in Grandma Arlyss' church.  Rylee was baptized there too on our last trip.  It was a very special time and I'm thankful for the family and friends who came to witness it.  Carson was such a good boy and didn't even cry when the pastor put water on his head! 
It was a great trip filled with a lot of new memories.  I only wish we lived closer so we could visit more often!
