Spud Harvest

Well since we don't get 2 weeks off for Spud Harvest in Utah, we had to settle for a weekend trip to get our spud harvest fill! We had fun riding and driving and picking those dirt clods. It's amazing how fast they can dig the potatoes now! Helping them to plant more potatoes because they can be harvested faster (if the weather cooperates)! They run 2 diggers, 3 cross-overs, 10+ trucks--years ago they ran 1 digger and 1 crossover! Harvest went a lot slower! I love being a farmers daughter and being a part of this whole operation! The first week of real spud harvest (they do a green dig so they end up digging for over a month but the kids are out of school for 2 weeks to help so that's what I mean by real) it was so hot people were getting sunburned but the next week it was so cold people were wearing coats. What crazy weather!

This is a picture of 2 crossovers and the digger loading a truck with 2 waiting...

Eric and the boys. They love this!

Kyden's pet fly--yes his pet?? I think the fly was dying so it let Kyden carry it around in his helmet and crawled up his arm. He had it for quite a while and then he lost it. Funny kid!

Kyden loves to go to work with Grandpa. Here they are together getting there work boots on.
