Ryan and I ventured to Unionville for some sugar beet harvest, and I'm so glad we did. It turned out to be a great weekend and we stayed until Sunday. Friday night got to ride in the field in the dark which is always such a cool experience. Then Saturday, we got up and headed back out to the field to ride. Ryan rodes lots with Jason and then took his first trip to the factory. Took a break to go to Grandpa's for lunch with Aunt Judy and Uncle Larry - Aunt Judy made my fav casserole. Then back out to help switch fields. And then more riding!
Saturday, Julie brought out dinner for everyone and then I left with her to go warm up and eat our dinner. Ryan stayed out and got his first training in beeting tops. He loved it so much that he stayed out until 1:00 am until Mom got to go home.
Sunday, morning we loaded up and then went out to the field to ride a bit and say good-bye. Ryan got back in and did some topping and I rode with Dad, until the harvest blew a hydraulic hose. Then I got to ride with Ryan in the beet and mom rode with Dad in the harvestor. Mom took off to get parts and Ryan and I finished topping most of the field. Then we took a truck back to the farm and hit the rode about 11:30. A little later than planned, but I think Ryan found his new calling -farming!
