The blogging marathon continues…
The weekend after The 4th, the guys and I all went to an Antique Gas & Steam Tractor show.
Yep.
Because I’m country like that now.
And because I live in a house full of boys.
I thought David would really like all the tractors and big steam machines. He wasn’t quite as interested as I hoped. But he did have fun.

David really wanted to climb on the tractors. He thought this one looked like it was just his size, and he’s exclaiming his displeasure after Dave told him to stay off of it.
The park where the show is held is the perfect setting. It had this old time village in the center of it. Isn’t it quaint? There are even people sitting on the porches outside the old store fronts.
There’s even a full scale steam-powered saw mill at the park. It wasn’t operating when we were there, but the steam engine was running. David almost wet his pants when the engine shot off a big stream of steam from it’s pressure relief valve. It was really loud.
