Tractors!

Evelyn is "standing" on 2000 lbs of weight on the front of the tractor to balance it. We brought the only kid who wouldn't appreciate this "Farm City Week" event in Altus because we didn't want to leave four rugrats with the babysitter, Evie is still nursing and the event was 6.5 hours long, and kids were not invited. It was a lot of fun, interesting, and I learned a lot about what goes on at Altus besides the Air Force aspect of it. Evie did really well -ate, slept, and hardly cried. I couldn't take her into the cotton gin because it was too loud and dusty for her. A friend's mom held Evelyn while Max and I both drove separate tractors...kind of like a riding lawn mower on steroids.
Evie likes Farm City Week!


Max and I both driving separate tractors.


The one in the forefront is a cotton picker and the other one is a stripper, strips the cotton plant of pretty much everything. These machines cost a whopping 200,000-400,000 bucks!


We took a lot of pictures since we knew the kids would have loved it, so they enjoyed it vicariously through the pictures and videos we took.
