Taking out Tobacco

Well first thing this morning I put Payton in his overalls and we headed out to the tobacco barns for a photo shoot. I have been meaning to take him all summer long on a Saturday morning and today it finally worked out.  I figured Payton would have a great time and obviously from the pictures below you can see that he did.  He was just amazed at the tobacco baler and watching everyone work.  For those of you that don’t know tobacco is our number one money making crop so it is very important to our family.  I figured Payton needed to have a first time experience with a leaf of golden tobacco!  He picked up a leaf and waved it in the air.  I am so glad that Payton will have the opportunity like Jamie and myself to grow up on the farm and enjoy the fun of work and play.  Here are some really cute pictures of farmer Payton in his overalls.

I love this picture.  He truly looks like the old picture that is at my Grandma Shirley’s house that says, “You been farming long?”
