Boats, tractors and golf carts!

These are all of the things that Payton got to 'drive' last weekend!  We had a fun filled trip to Western Iowa last weekend to visit Grandma and Grandpa Schulte and Uncle Jeremy!  Aunt Kristin went up with us as well.  The first day we went to visit all of the Great Grandparents and then we went on a boat ride.  Grandpa Randy even let Payton drive the boat!!  I think they both loved it.  The next day we went golfing.  Payton got to try out his new golf clubs.  He was very fascinated with the ball washer thing.  That is not really a surprise for Payton!  While we were golfing, he got to sit on Justins lap and help drive the golf cart.  After golfing, we headed to the farm so Payton could go for a tractor ride.  He had been talking about it for days, so he was very excited when Grandpa told him to take his pick.   Then, we had to go in the field to show Payton the corn because he was confused as to why it was green and not yellow.  I am not sure who was having more fun...Payton or Grandpa Randy!!

Then, on the last day we all went to Omaha to go to the zoo on our way home!

 

In other news, we just found out that Payton is going to be moving to the Pre-K class next week.  It is early for him to move up, but they feel he is ready.  They think that if he stays in his current class he will get bored, because the items they are going to be learning in the next few months he has already mastered.  So he is pretty excited to move up with the big kids.  It is much more of a structured environment.  His class will be working on sight words, simple addition and subraction, spelling, writing and phonics.  I think he will do great.  He does really well in a learning environment and is like a sponge, he just absorbs information.  The only downside of moving up this early, is that he will be in this class until he starts kindergarten, which isn't for two years.  So we may have a problem keeping him challenged next year.  But I have a whole year to worry about that!
