John Deere Trip

This past weekend we took the boys up to Moline, IL, to visit the John Deere Headquarters. You know your kids are your top priority in life when you take a vacation to visit a tractor factory! Of course Tyler was in heaven, and Cole seemed to love it as well.

My parents actually met us for the weekend as well, and we stayed across the street from the John Deere Pavilion. The Pavilion is just a huge room with several tractors on display....most of which the kids can climb on. We also visited the John Deere Headquarters, which had additional tractors on display....unfortunately Tyler was too young to go on the factory tour.

The boys had an absolute blast, and honestly we did too....watching them have fun is just contagious! It was a great winter outing as there was plenty of space for them to run around. We were supposed to go from Moline on up to Galena, IL, to go skiing, (Tony really wanted to get Tyler on skis this year) unfortunately this had to be postponed since the boys both got sick....shocking for our boys to be sick I know! At least we got to enjoy the weekend!
