Its that wonderful time of the year in Gila Valley when all the cotton fields get picked. We are lucky to live in the valley for this reason because Ridge gets to see his favorite thing in the whole world -tractors and is lucky enough to even get to ride them. I've stated before Ridge has a special relationship with his Uncle Darren and its partically due to the fact that Uncle Darren drives tractors.
This is Ridge's first time to get to ride on the cotton pickers. The pictures below are when Aunt Sara took Ridge on the tractor for a bit. She was kind enough to document it for me.
Then yesterday I got the opportunity myself to go on one of the tractors along with Cambree and Ridge. Its actually quite a fascinating thing. I made the mistake of bringing Cambree because she was done as soon as we got on. We were on a field that had an awesome crop. It was so tall in parts and so thick.
The kids wouldn't cooperate for nothing in any of these pictures, but still cool to see where they are..
Camera trick :) Darren is tall so according to this picture the cotton would be as tall as his shoulder. While the cotton is tall here, Darren is kneeling a bit to make it appear even taller :) His idea. Its tricked everyone so far but now the cats out the bag.
It was a lot of fun to be apart of that for a bit and thanks to Sara for taking Ridge so many times and for Sara and Pat for watching Brecklynn so I could go ride one time with the kids. It was great visiting with Darren too. Thanks Darren for allowing so many passengers.
