The Nowthen Threshing Show

The Nowthen threshing show is one of Noah's favorite place to see! It is a conglomeration of old time county fair, flea market, tractor show and pioneer days. What a great show. Noah gets to taste the flavors of oldtyme lemonade and Kettle Korn, Roasted corn on the cob or a corn dog.

He can hear the sounds of the steam engines, johnny poppers, tractors, and diesel engines

Smell the wood/coal burning tractors as well as the diesel and gas powered tractors as wells whiffs of "fair food"

Today he was here for 6 hours!...we went home for a nap after being fully stimulated and then back for the tractor pull.

Enjoy the photos

Going Fishing! What a fisher BOY!

Noah Took Daddy fishing on Monday What a fisherboy he is turning into!

Noah caught his first largemouth bass and pike all by himself! He really had a hard time bringing in the Pike as it fought and threw itself into the weeds, but Noah pulled and pulled and got the guy up to the side of the boat. Those fish may not look large to adult standards, but relative tot he size of a 4 year old They are monster!!!.
