Friday afternoon my dad came in and picked Ajax and I up! My mom is in Florida visiting and Dave was going to be in a conference all day on Saturday in Detroit, so we decided to go stay the night in Brooklyn and hang with my dad.
After my dad picked us up we went to a tractor supply store so that my dad could get some parts for his New Holland. We were there for about 40 minutes and Ajax was great the entire time. He was of course great because we were in a store filled with tractors and lawn mowers. Ajax tried out every single tractor multiple times and kept pointing out his favorite ones. He even got a kick out of the snow blowers.
We then headed out to Brooklyn for the night. Ajax was up at about 6:30 and my dad was nice enough to let me sleep in. We did breakfast of french toast and then headed outside by 9 am! Ajax pulled out his power wheel and zipped all around the farm, up and down the second drive and behind the big red barn. He also decided to help grandpa by filling in a groundhog hole and made multiple trips with his power wheel filled with dirt. We also played in the sand pit behind the barn with all of Ajax’s metal trucks and made great roads and highways. The animals followed Ajax everywhere he went, it was hilarious, the dogs, the cats, they followed him everywhere.
We then helped my dad take down a large tree near his pole barn. By help I mean Ajax and I manned the tractor and simply put tension on the large limbs so that they fell the way my dad wanted. Ajax got a kick out of that. He also had fun jumping and climbing through the fallen tree and even got into a tug of war with one of the dogs over a large branch.
After our hard work my dad treated us to lunch at McDonalds where Ajax played quite well on the playscape. As he was pretty overtired at that point, he didn’t leave terribly well, but in the car he finally calmed down when he asked to listen to the Beach Boys. I asked Ajax if he really wanted to listen to the Beach Boys and he said yes. My dad happened to have his iPod with several Beach Boy albums. When I put them on he hummed along with it till he fell asleep. I couldn’t believe it.
