Threshers.

We drove straight from vacation to the Threshers.

It was hot (as always) & we were ready for some tractors & Stockade food.

Grandpa Wayne & cousin Gabe met us when we arrived 

& we went straight to the Stockade first.

The boys LOVED, I mean LOVED walking through the Stockade.

We could have spent all day there watching people fire their big guns,

make rope, spin wool, sing songs, sell their goods & everything else.

I told them about how people used to actually do all the things they were looking at.

And they really could not believe all the animal skins & furs....the bears, rabbits, wolves, etc.

Sitting with grandpa eating elephant ears & homemade ice cream.

 Like every year grandpa gave us a ride around the Threshers.

 Watching the tractor pull. A highlight!

Adler got a chance to drive the cockshutt with grandpa. 

Then Brock got a turn. 

Vance enjoyed the shade in the trolley. 

The boys loved the double Ford tractor. 

Thanks grandpa for another year of fun at the Threshers!
