Another 80 degree day in March. We still have another day of “winter.” The wind is so strong which usually comes with the warm weather in Iowa. Orrie took the big kids and Rylie out rock picking, something the kids do each spring and earn money. I don't know what they enjoy most, the money, the being with cousins, or getting to drive the gators. It is nice that they look forward to it. When they returned, they added more rocks to our new rock pile by the driveway. Luke stayed behind and accepted the fact that he was not old enough. He took it upon himself to go out on his own and practice. He took his little battery operated gator out and started picking up big rocks out where the bulldozer leveled the ground for our arena. He took his job very serious and worked hard. He also learned it is fun to go shirtless like his cousin Rylie. For the past 3 days in a row, Luke has been enjoying his gator. With a new battery that is fully charged and without a sibling in it with him, he discovered it can go really fast. He has had so much fun zooming all over the yard. He likes to go from 1st gear and quickly jerk into 2nd gear with a burst of speed. As I watched him out the window I could see him laughing and singing.
