2011 Oregon Steam Up!

Well, we've managed our first overnight trip...
And it went unbelievably well!
We went to Brooks, Oregon for the Antique tractor show.
2 nights in a motel...
2 long, hot days looking at tractors, tractors, and more tractors, as well as engines, trains, trucks...
You name it, it was there.
A little boys favorite kind of days!
Uncle Stephen showed his restored Case LA,
We rode the model railroad at *least* 8 times,
Sampled the kettle korn,
Riley and Phoenix entered the kids pedal tractor pull,
Watched the parade,
We walked and walked and walked,
And when we got tired of walking, we rode one of the trains or the funny busses...
And each night at the motel the children went swimming!!!

They skipped naps and slept great all night!
What fun!
Pedal Hard, Riley!!!

Go Phoenix!!!

Riley won a ribbon both days...

Phoenix had never seen so many tractors in his life!

Mr. Q

Sissy and her Hot Dog

Here we go on the train! (again)

Grandpa and Grandma R. and the Grand kiddos

U. Stephen pulling....

Q and I on the train...

Ok, guys, nighty night! (5 minutes later they were all out!)

Highlight of the show...

Riley could have watched this round-baler demo for hours...

If you're in to Brooks, OR area next weekend, the show's still on!!
Kiddos 12 and under get in free :)
