Day One

On Monday we left for vacation! We had such a blast! It felt great to just get a way and explore together as a family.

Our first stop was Dixon, IL. Here we saw John Deere's blacksmith shop and his home.



We then drove by Pres. Ronald Reagan's home.



Then it was off to Moline, IL to the John Deere Pavilion. They had past and present tractors on display that the kids (and adults) were able to climb up into. Sawyer (and Tom) loved it!!! The whole time we were there the only word we heard Sawyer saw was "tractor".



Here are our boys as farmers!



After we were done at the John Deere Pavilion we went to the John Deere Headquarters. There were just more tractors to be played on; it sure is hard to tell who had more fun - Tom or Sawyer.


Then we traveled on to our "home" for the rest of the week in Collinsville, IL.
