Riding Grandad's Tractor

Another treat for Addi and Maddox was riding with Grandad on his lawn-mowing tractor. Maddox loved asking if they could ride the "green tractor" (Gator down at the farm) or the yellow tractor (the one here for mowing).

The sun was really bright this day. It was a treat for both

children to be able to go outside without having to bundle

up, put on boots, hats, scarves and hats. Our big yard

provided a great place for them to play. Jenny and Matt

could let them go outside to play by themselves, checking

on them periodically. What a difference from where they

live in Russia with the high-rise apartments. Of course,

Addi and Maddox love the playgrounds that are there!

Jenny and I found two riding toys at a consignment shop.

Addi and Maddox had a great time riding on the driveway,

sidewalk and in the yard.

The one that Addi is riding made all kinds of motorcycle

noises. This is the one that they both preferred to ride.

So it was always a rush to see who could get to it first!

Maddox struggled with the pedaling at first, but then

once he caught on, he was all over the place riding!

The Depp Kids in action!

We had so much fun playing with Addi and

Maddox while they were visiting our home.

We hope that they enjoyed it just as much!
