Our family always celebrates Potato Harvest by going out to the fields and seeing the tractors then going to the cellars and playing on the spuds. Since we grew up in Hamer and worked during spud harvest all of our growing up years it is something that we really enjoy watching instead of participating in.
This year was especially fun because we announced to the family that we were pregnant. We bought Wren a shirt that has owls on the front of it and then had it screen printed. The front said "Guess HOO..." and the back said "BIG SISTER!" We had dad take her jacket off when we got there and everyone was very excited once they figured it out! :)
Wren really really loved the potato field, she thought that it was her own personal playground and ate the dirt, the potatoes, the vines, the rotten potatoes... pretty much anything she could get to her mouth before I could stop her! She also really was loving grandpa because he took her on the back of the combine and let her "drive" his truck back to the cellar! When they got to the cellar, she thought that she could do everything that the bigger kids were doing, like climb the potato pile, she soon figured out that she couldn't and ended up trying to crawl through the metal tubes placed for ventilation. I had to block those off also. That kid likes to get into everything!
