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!

Tyler and Mamaw making a soil project at the John Deere Pavilion. Of course Tyler was the only kid that got to dump in his own soil....persistence pays off! Oh, and the soil got dumped all over the hotel room floor....oops!

When I told Doug about this mini vacation he thought it was absolutely perfect!!! There's a museum outside of Sacramento that has literally hundreds of tractors and farm machinery that Tyler would got beserk over, we'ver been several times. We were supposed to go to the World Ag Expo in CA in Feb but Doug missed that and all of his car shows, Tyler would make a great "buddy" for great Uncle Doug, he Loves, loves, loves going to all the tractor shows!!!!!
