Dad's new "tractor"

Three years ago when we left Indiana, we didn't think we would be returning. However, Rob had made it very clear that if we ever lived anywhere like Indiana again that he would without hesitation purchase a riding mower. Well who would have known we would end up here again? After two hours of mowing, he comes in steaming mad (literally...it is like a sauna out there and it isn't even officially summer yet) Rob announces that he is going to Lowe's to bite the bullet and buy that ride on mower he had once talked about. Sure thing honey - after all I'm not the one who will be mowing twice a week. I think after my allergy tests came back and he could see that I really do have severe grass and weed allergies, he has made it a point to be a gentleman and take on all the mowing. Well now he can mow happily, as you can see in the pictures below. The boys were so excited to see dad with his new "tractor" as Luke calls it. It was so much fun to watch the boys watch their dad.
