Jack and Licoln love taking Grampa's lawn tractor and trailer for a spin around the pasture on the different trails cut into the grass to keep them on course.  As you can see the grass is taller than the kids heads and high enough to hide Ben's jeep in some places. 
Liz & Jake take a ride in Ben's jeep Lincoln and friend following.
Lincoln with a load of kids heading for the course.  The tractor has a hydrostactic transmission so there's just one lever to move to go forward or reverse and stop.  They all are the best drivers and handle it very well and safe.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but I think their playing a game.  Our family comes here on Sundays and we sure enjoy having them come. We are a blessed family.
It's been a great spring and begining of summer so far.  I've done a lot of work on the yard trying to make improvements.  I've done a lot of weed control in the pasture and the front yard which was mostly yellow but now is under control.  The garden is coming along great.  We were a little late getting it in because of the rain and the cold weather.   Mom has done a great job shampooing all the carpets in the house with Dave & Megs shampooer.   Mom and I keep busy with the grand kids by going to ball games, school plays, soccor games, riding to Salt Lake to the library and to Lagoon for a day of fun.  There is always something going on with the family.

We have a small strawberry patch.  We have had it for a couple of years now.  It hasn't done to much but I noticed it loved the rain this year.  I took a small bowl out and Jack and I started picking.  Needless to say we had to get a bigger bowl.  This is the first picking and there are alot of soon to be ripe ones out there.  MMMM they sure taste good.  I can see pie , short cake and smoothies this year.  Both Lincoln and Jack love strawsberries.
