Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the Queen Anne County Fair supporting Team Fuel'In Around. Robert Turner is a 21 year old Tractor driver from Cecil County. We met Robert 4 years ago when we moved to Maryland. He was in high school at the time and worked at the Uleau farm doing odd jobs and what not. As the years passed Robert became a part of the family and can often be found at the farm still doing his odd jobs or visiting with the family. Jack has taken to Robert and looks up to him as kind of an older brother. He thinks Robert is the best thing since sliced bread and has followed him around since he could walk, even before I think! Now that you have the back story; Yesterday we went to support Robert at the tractor pull. Robert did a great job coming in 4th and 2nd. Jack watched the pull in awe; glued to thier every move. After Robert's first pull we went back to his "camp". This is where you will see Jack weasled his way up onto the pulling tractor. He is accompanied by Mister Eddy (Robert's brother in-law) and Rae Lynn (niece to Robert). Jack sat up there with Mister Eddy discussing the ins and outs of tractors and hows and whys and what nots. Mister Eddy was very patient and kind with Jack and answered every one of him million questions. Thank you Mister Eddy. Jack has a new respect for you and appreciates all the attention you gave him yesterday. Few people take the time to answer his "silly" questions.....that is how he learns about the world. Anyway; to say the very least Jack and Charlie had a fabulous time. Thank you Robert for all the love and attention you have given and continue to give our little man. He looks up to you!
Charlie has started to develop the same love and appreciation for tractors and driving that his older brother has. I think that we are in trouble!!!
