On Tuesday we went up to my folks. Matt had to crop scout, so we all rode along. It was another 100 degree day. I had thrown in the kid's old swimsuits, so they could enjoy the creek below the house. I do believe I spent many many many hours in and around this same creek as a child. Wanda and I would take our dolls in their bathtubs and float them down the creek for hours on end!
The Creek Below the Farm
Isaac Enjoying His Outdoor Time
Isabella only wanted to try to catch the little minnows.
Grandma Wienck called yesterday morning and told us they were harvesting wheat. After gymnastics and lunch we headed to the farm so the two little munchkins could take their turn riding in the combine. We got there just in time before they began cutting.

I know wheat harvest occurred back at the end of June, however I never did get a video made.
Isabella now gets her fair share of time in the combine. The funny thing is that she and Isaac both fell asleep while riding in the combine in the afternoon at wheat harvest. Isabella said she kept waking up when her head hit the side window. Grandpa pulled over when they were close to road so she could go back to the farm. Uncle John and Isaac just rested on a blanket under the grain cart after Isaac kept falling asleep in the combine.
Isaac and Isabella went to the farm last week to help finish up soybean harvest. Isabella took her first tractor and combine ride. She climbed up the ladder to the combine like a pro and only looked back to wave. Isaac of course LOVED the farm as usual and couldn't get enough time there.
Wheat harvest at the farm occurred over the weekend. Isaac declared that he must be ALL healed up from surgery since wheat harvest was finally here! Isabella really didn't care much about harvest. She thinks the combine is TOO loud.
Isaac's only complaint was that his mom rode in the buddy seat of the combine with him. He keeps telling her he is a big boy and can ride by himself! He is only 31/2 and doesn't think he needs his mom.
