Daddy's Newest Toy

We have 5 acres of land on our property, and a lot of grass. Right now its mostly weeds because we have not planted grass seed yet, but the weeds are up to the boys' shoulders. We have some woods behind our house that Nate has been dying to clear out and make some pathways in it. We have a super long driveway that will be a pain to plow in the wintertime. So, Nate decided it was time to get a real tractor. This was no toy tractor, this was a heavy duty boy toy!! It came with a mower and a scooper that Nate can use to move dirt and trees and snow with. Jaxton and Cooper were in heaven. And so was Nate! Nate takes the boys on tractor rides all the time and they love it!
Here is a few weeks later, Nate has been hard at work on his tractor between alarm appointments or after dinner some days. You can see the pathways he cleared out of the woods. We envision putting mulch along the pathways to define them, maybe a swingset someday, a treehouse up in one of the big trees, maybe a bench or two to sit and read on in the peaceful wooded setting. The possibilities are endless!!
