Farmer

We visited Henry's Mamu's farm in southern Illinois not too long ago and Henry was in heaven. He enjoyed exploring and discovering the farm. He enjoyed Mulberries off the tree with mamu and papu. Normally he does not each much fruit, but he loved Mulberries and would turn himself and Mamu purple enjoying them. He would have eaten them until he was sick I think.
He liked the animals too. He wanted us to feed the chickens grass since he did not want to get too close to them. He also liked watching the pigs and the beautiful horse. They were all a little big and he was a little apprehensive about getting too close, but he wanted to watch them.



However, his favorite was the tractor. He loved sitting on the tractor and pushing buttons, moving different sticks and turning the steering wheel. He would have played on it for hours. However, once the tractor was turned on, he would back off and would just watch. He is frightened of the tractors when they are running. I think they are just too loud for him. He enjoyed watching the tractor going back and forth as Alex and Bobbi (the farmers) tetted and baled the hale. He just refused all offers of tractor rides. Now when looking at pictures of tractors, he says 'Alex Tractor'.

We had a lot of fun seeing how the farm is growing and developing. Hopefully we can go back and explore the tractors with Henry again soon.
