inspecting the equipment

Since Ryan decided to move his three girls to a strange, unfamiliar place filled with all things agriculture and farming, we decided it was only fair that we gave the equipment an inspection first. No sense starting his job if we didn't give him the go-ahead first. 

We poked, prodded, climbed, cranked, mowed, moved, steered, stood on and sat in nearly every piece of equipment on the floor.

And the outcome was unanimous: It looks like John Deere is here to stay. And so are the Laytons.

(And if you come visit us, we'll let you drive the combine too.)
