You would have thought that the boys had died and gone to heaven when we decided to pull them out of school and go to Husker Harvest Days at the beginning of September.. Russell and I picked them up early on Tuesday from school and we took the 6 hour drive toward Grand Island. All the way there they fought like cats and dogs. We finally got to the hotel, and was expecting to go for a swim, just to find out the AmericInn did not have a swimming pool. What nice hotel these days does not have a swimming pool, the AmericInn in Kearney, Nebraska. The next morning we got up early, and headed to the farm show. We had no idea there would be 80 acres of exhibitors. Not to mention the field demonstrations beyond that. It was interesting to me to see how interested all 3 boys were in the newest and greatest of combines, grain carts, swathers, rakes, and rippers. They could have watched them all day long. We had a great time. The one thing we were hoping for was to beat Newel and Blake Norman to a farm show, I guess this was not the one to beat them too. It was good to see them there. When we left on Wednesday late afternoon, the decision was made that we are going to stay 2 days next year. We began our way home hoping it would be more pleasant than the trip there. On the way home they were silent for the first hour and then, holy smokes, they could not stop talking about all the equipment and great farming things they saw. I would have to say it was a success for all that attended (that includes me!)Thursday, September 29, 2011
