Farmer Dad called one morning this past week and said he needed the boys down at the walnut huller as soon as possible. They were in a crunch and needed the man power. Within minutes, the boys were smooshing themselves into the car, smooshing because thats what boys do when they have been called to duty but some how have grown by 3 sizes just in the time from when Dad called, to getting in the car.

This is important honorable work,  you know.

Little Miss and I took lunch out to the men and I did a little photo journaling:

Mike had to troubleshoot a breakdown and told the boys to unload the vina walnuts into the set of double trailers.

Hooking up the drier trailer.

C teaching Little Miss how to work the trailer dump.

Dumping the trailer.

You can see the nuts coming out the shoot into a set of doubles. The truck driver, who was waiting to haul the load of nuts to the  processor had this look of bewilderment, as the boys were put in charge.

J moves the empty drier trailer and picks up a full one.

 Little Miss and the dog tested the product for quality.

Z was called over to the huller to pick sticks from the conveyer.

Where Z's concerned, work and play go hand in hand.

Them are workin' hands.

Here's the farmer moving a set of double trailers and hollering instructions at the same time.

Captain saftey!

"Look Ma, I can stand and drive at the sametime!"

Oh, he impresses me so!
