Another Peanut Harvest in the Books...

Well, Tanner is done with Peanut Harvest for the year! So, the nights of being at home with the He-man alone are over! Helee loves peanut harvest though....anything that combines tractors & big trucks is just fine by him!! He could just stand & watch the trucks & tractors for HOURS!! Helee doesn't pay attention to ANYTHING for that long, so it was nice to have something to occupy him for awhile!

This picture I LOVE! Helee always directed the trucks with Tanner! He'd say "Back, Back, Back...Ok Truck!"

This is the inside of the peanut basket....The tractors dump the peanuts into this basket & then from here they are loaded into the trucks trailer.... Helee thought it was a blast getting in & climbing in the peanuts! Who needs a dirt pile when you have peanuts!!

Well....Tanner woke up one night or was day dreaming or something & thought about the possibility of a rattle snake being in the basket. & by the time it went through the combine, dump into the tractor & then dump into this basket it would be one MAD snake~!! So, that ended the fun....No more playing in the peanuts!

A day or 2 later....Tanner was in the basket (working, not playing) & guess what he found. Yep, a Rattle Snake!! So glad we have a smart dad like him!!
