Tractors, tractors, tractors as far as the eye could see. Big tractors, little tractors, red tractors, green tractors, steam tractors, gas tractors, antique tractors, and new tractors. We ventured out to the 27th Annual Flywheeler's Antique Engine and Tractor Show today. This place has a bit of a cult following and you don't really get it until you visit. It was awesome. This is a weekend long event that celebrates everything with a motor. 
If you want happy, smiling pictures of Thomas - set him in front of (or on) a tractor. There was so much to see. It was cool to see people driving around the exhibits, flea market, and campground on tractors, golf carts, quads, gators (the list goes on and on), etc. Many had homemade trailers with benches for their family.
Some people camp for days at Flywheelers. It wasn't uncommon to see a full sized tractor (or 2, or 3) sitting in front of a camper. Much like you would see at a campground with boats. It is like a whole other world at Flywheeler's. I'm thinking that we'll need to camp next year as well. We won't have a tractor to park by our tent, but I'm sure we can still conjure up some fun.
Rob finally got to take Thomas for a ride. He has offered to take him in the past - but Thomas was afraid to go. Today was the day. He had a blast. They drove around the exhibits and had some good man bonding time.

We met up with Cal a little later in the afternoon. He was nice enough to take Thomas for another tractor ride. I'm not sure who had more fun - Thomas or Cal. Upon their return, Thomas was able to talk about the differences between the red and green tractors, which brand was which, and which one was the best. It was a very informative ride.
