Today Nolan and Maxwell were able to take turns riding in the combine with grandpa Eben while we combined about 50 acres of corn. I was running the grain cart and hauling corn from the field just west of Eben's house up to the grain bins. It was kind of a long day for the kids to be riding in tractors / combines. Nolan did pretty well, but Maxwell got bored with it after about an hour. It's always good for the boys though to get an idea for how life on the farm is.
We were also able to take the boys up to Ruthven to visit great grandma Natalie. Since they are not allowing visiters at the care center, we had to sit outside and talk to her through the window. After our visit with her, we stopped by Lakeland to get the boys some soft serve ice cream.
