This past Saturday was the Show Me Tractor Cruise to benefit Camp Quality. There were 313 tractors participating this year. Uncle Don entered his three Massey-Harris tractors, the 44, the 333, and the 30 which were driven by Gale, Kendell, and Dad respectively. Krug Park was the stop for the drivers' lunch break, so we waited for them there and got to watch the entire parade of tractors enter Krug Park and leave as well. During the lunch break, the little kids had a pedal tractor cruise and the picture below shows Eli sitting on his Ferguson 35 Special, which was his first birthday present. The picture above is of Eli sitting on his Great-Great Granddad Grantham's 333, which was sold to him out of Morrow Implement by Eli's Great-Granddad Morrow. Eli is so crazy about tractors and he's getting quite a collection of toy masseys and attachements. Until we're able to buy one of our own, Eli gets his tractor fix at Uncle Don's and we're always on the look out for one anytime we're driving in the car. It's funny how Eli discovered his love for tractors all on his own, without any pushing from us. I guess he comes by it honest as it's in his blood. And I know a couple of granddads who are smiling down on him from heaven.
