Swathing With Dad

Since Larry has been a Manager here at Horizon Organic, with all the paperwork and schmoozing that goes with it, he doesn't have many opportunities to drive the equipment. Which is kind of sad in a way because Braden LOVES to ride with his Daddy.

However, every once in a while Larry will get to drive a swather or chopper and call us to come and ride. And by "US" I mean Braden rides and mom drives him to and from the field. The other day Braden rode with Larry from eleven in the morning until four in the afternoon. Today I needed to take Larry a lunch on the swather so I loaded Braden up and away we went. I told Braden that we were going to ride with Dad and that Mom was coming too. He was a little concerned that Mom was "too big" for the buddy seat in the swather. (What's he sayin anyway?) That we wouldn't both fit.

(Larry got the functional swather and we were able to go 3mph. Saul wasn't as lucky)

Braden, who was sitting on my lap thought I was cramping his style because he asked me more than once to sit on the floor so he could sit on the buddy seat by Dad. We only stayed about an hour, much shorter than Braden would have liked, but he was torn between staying with Dad and coming home with Mom.
