Electrical Tower



On this beautiful day today we took a long hike. Since he can see two electrical towers outside Grandma's window, he has been very interested in them. Also, he is very interested in static electricity, so that makes the towers all the more interesting. We walked up to the tower above the upper barn today. It was quite a long hike, and we had to go back to the tower twice. He had to go to the driveway by the upper barn to get some rocks to take back to the tower to throw at it. It was a good activity for such a nice day.

While we took a break for our snacks, Paul had fun reenacting a story grandma told him last night. She told him how when Great-Grandpap would get his tractor stuck in the mud, she'd have to come with another tractor, hook up the chains and pull him out. We picked many blades of grass to be our "chains" and hooked up two of his toy tractors. One would haul the other one out of the mud.
