This weekend we used the neighbors tractor to brush hog our paddocks. We also pull alot of fence posts and did a few other jobs with it. Nik came over on Sunday and played with the boys on the sand hill. We found a big garder snake which the boys liked holding. They found a lot of caterpillars and a preying mantis. Jared twisted his ankle really bad when he stepped of the brush hog into the tall grass. I walked around the tractor and he was on the ground. He heard something pop and it swelled up quickly. After we were finished using the tractor Jared took each of the boys for a ride on it. They got to steer it and used its forklift to lift a brush pile. This evening Jared and Kenzie stayed with the kids while Mel and I went to the hospital to see Peyton and Isaac. Vikki nursed them while we visited. I got to hold Peyton. Mel got to hold both of them together. At 6:45 all visitors have to leave so we headed back to Vikki's. We stopped at Kroger for groceries before going home. We watched Over the Hedge and camped out again in the living room.
