JOHN DEERE GREEN....

We just returned from our second summer vacation... A trip to see Nona and Papa in John Deere Land... For those of you who don't know, "John Deere" is one of S & S's best friends. One of both of their first words was "John" and EVERY time we are in the car we play the "WHERE IS JOHN" game rather than the ABC game...My boys use everything they can find (bubble blowers, ice scrapers, baseball bats) to pretend they are mowing, weed eating, or blowing with John. Needless to say, when we go back to the QCA we HAVE to see and ride on John every chance we get... We really are going to have to get ourselves our own John one of these days!





We also had the chance to visit with Ben's cousin "Officer Eric" who works for the Davenport Police Department. He gave us a very detailed tour of the new Davenport Police Station along with his very cool car! I'm not sure who enjoyed this tour more, the grown-ups or the boys... THANKS Eric for the awesome tour and for all you do!





We also got to go visit Ms. Donna's farm (a friend of the Dodds') one morning. We met Russel The Sheep (the boys named him)... along with the most beautiful horse named Titan...



OH, and who could forget... as a child Ben had a motorized scooter. Well a couple months back Ben's dad found the scooter stored in the shed, cleaned and tuned it all up, and has been loving it ever since! I can honestly say that although Sutton found it to be rather cool, Ben and Fred are like little boys when riding on this one of a kind!



THANKS FOR A FUN WEEK NONA & PAPA...
