Recently we had the honor of visiting with the Menichinos. It was a gorgeous day in Andover, and Ben was beyond excited. To be honest, so was Joe. He got all his tractors out and ready for Ben. Well, actually, he got 4 of them out. There was one in the barn (the "tiny tractor," per Ben) and one in the pasture with a spreader on the back (the "poop tractor," per Ben). Ben, of course, sat on all the tractors. He even drove one!! It was a wonderful visit and a great chance to catch up with some people I adore!!!
Ben sits on his first tractor of the day.
Ben and Joe. Not sure what they're doing. Undoubtedly talking about tractors.
Another tractor. Ben is operating the bucket.
Liz gets in an Alex cuddle (one of many!).
Mariah's turn!!
Tractors in the lawn!! Ben had a blast with them. Then, he and Joe washed them up...
This is moments after Ben had his fists balled up by his cheeks in his typical "I'm so excited I can't stand it!" expression.
Love this photo. I even took it myself.
Totally dirty Ben butt!!!
Driving the tractor. Ben helped take care of things.
More caretaking...
This is Ben driving. Himself. Dad isn't touching a thing!!
Parking the tractor in the barn. Life is good.
This was one of my favorite parts of the night. After dinner, Ben pulled his chair right over next to Joe, climbed up, and had a very grown up conversation about tractors. And inquired about Joe's beer. He did NOT drink any. But he did check the bottle out.
Liz fed Alex his peas!
Alex works on some yoga.
Yummy ice cream time!!
A parting shot. Who knew we would be so well coordinated?!?!
