I Didn't Bring My Camera...

I didn't bring my camera to the field last night to pick up rocks...




But, if I had...




I would have taken a picture of:


**Emily and Carter "surfing" on the rock bucket of the skid loader as we drove across the field.


**The big, I mean Huge, smile on Emily's face as she drove the skid loader for the very first time.


**The beautiful sunset we watched out in the wide open field. Living in town, you sometimes forget the beauty in the openness.


**My daughter and me doing cartwheels in the cultivated field while the guy helping us dug a really big rock.


**Emily making "poop" out of the mud and showing everyone.


**Carter drawing on the big rocks nobody could lift instead of picking any up.


**Al and the boys in the tractor coming toward us at the end of the evening framed by the setting sun.

**The dirt clod fight Emily and Carter had.

**Emily rubbing dirt on her shirt because she thought it made it look like she did some work.

**The guy who was helping us, a friend of Al's from work, when he took his sunglasses off and had raccoon eyes from all of the dirt!!


I didn't bring my camera, but if I had that's what I would have done.

About the only thing left out would be the heat or the cooling down in the evening. What a great discription - you nailed it!
Everyone should do that at least once in their lifetime.
