More Adventures In Iowa...

Well, there was green machinery everywhere out in Iowa. John Deer Country....that's what I'd call it. Jacob must have thought he'd died and gone to heaven when they went to the fair. He got to see a tractor pull with a big old tractor named ShagNasty. Now you know a place that names their tractors can't be all bad. Jacob loves green machinery, and in a land awash with giant sized machinery, he managed to find a little cart just his size.

You can't keep him away from the big stuff though. Jacob and big machinery are meant to go together... kind of like bread and butter, peaches and cream, Paris Hilton and the paparazzi. I know he was in heaven when he saw this bad boy. Maybe someday, Jacob....maybe someday. Little boys can dream!

Any tractor that needs a wheel this big qualifies as a big machine.


Jacob made friends at the zoo where he was allowed to feed the goats. This little guy seemed to like him. Finally, an animal that was just the right size.

I'm not sure who this guy was or where he was, but cool! Very cool!

"Hey, Ralph, have you seen that hare anywhere?"

"Sure, Gracie. All the time."

"Where, Ralph."

"Oh, hare, there, everywhere."


Jacob and his mom got to ride a camel named Choco at the zoo.

. Jacob got to ride two horses at the park. One was named Pokey and the other was named Candy. The one in the picture is Candy. Ride 'em, cowboy!


...and a trip to Iowa just wouldn't be complete without a trip to the rodeo. Look at all those white hats. That thar's how you can tell the good guys from the bad guys. This is a great shot, Bek. One of my favorites, I feel like I'm there with you guys. In Tombstone ~ As the sun slowly sets in the west ~ Wyatt Earp gathers his posse together, preparing to light out after his man. Can you pick out Doc Holliday? Luv it!

....and best of all....Jacob had a pretty girl to go on all these adventures with him. I ask ya, ain't she pretty now? Couldn't she just charm the husk right off the corn? Yep!
