Justin had told Grant that he would be bringing home the skidsteer over the weekend. Let me first mention that it was MONDAY when he told him this! After this experience Justin now know it is against the rules to tell Grant such a thing until moments before he'll be home with the tractor.
WOW was it a LONG week, not only for Grant but for Mom as well. Grant asked and whined and asked and whined about the skidsteer so much it was driving me crazy!!
Grant and I dropped by Justin's office to bring him lunch and he was just about to head out into the yard to oversee his workers. So he let Grant and I tag along.
We spent a good hour and a half seeing all the different tractors hard at work and the different projects going on. Grant loved every second of it!!!
He however was not so happy when we had to leave. He was under the impression that he was going to get to ride on one of his daddy's tractors. So it did not go over well when we left without a tractor ride. I am confident that Justin could take Grant to work with him and just have him ride with different employees in the different tractors and that Grant would sit and be happy the entire day.
When Saturday finally came around, Justin and Grant were the only ones at home. As the rest of the kids and I had gone to Gilbert for Kiersten's dance competition. Justin said him and Grant rode the skidsteer all day Saturday, stopping only to eat, have a soda and use the restroom. He figured they had been on the tractor for a good 9 hours.
Grant never once complained nor did he ever fall asleep. Justin said he couldn't believe it. Grant loved every moment of those 9 hours. Justin said he finally loaded it back on the trailer around 7:30 at night because he knew if the skidsteer wasn't on the trailer that Grant would try and talk him into driving it again on Sunday.
