Green Tractors and Yellow Trucks

When my sons were small, their eyes grew big as saucers when they pulled the wrapping away to reveal a shiny new truck. There were many toys that they played with for awhile and then abandoned, but the trucks and tractors stayed with them the longest. Both have many fond memories of building roads and cities, clearing the land for new crops, and baling hay for the horses. (They never had cows. I think they heard too many stories of getting up before dawn to do the milking. My sons are night owls, not early birds.)

I still have the tractors and trucks they played with stashed away in the attic. When the time comes they will fuel the imagination of the next generation.

Trucks and tractors are awesome Christmas gifts, but the same goes for birthdays and other holidays throughout the year. Just think of all the sand that needs to be hauled from one sandcastle to another. Buckets and shovels are great but nothing gets the job done like a monster truck.

It's time to start gardening again. How can they plant their seeds without first working the ground? A little farmer needs a tractor. How else can he plow the ground? Turn their imagination loose for a little fun in the sun.

Have a good day,
