Evening Rides in the Side by Side

In Farm Life by Laura CrossleyLeave a Comment

The newest favorite family pastime involves cruising in the side-by-side.

The Honda Pioneer is still new to the farm, but it’s getting a workout while proving to be the best investment we’ve made so far. It’s no shocker that Aaron still has to run into Kansas City for home showings now and then. Instead of wandering around the house with a bored baby, I’ve been packing him into the side by side and going for a ride.

Isai loves it.

To be fair, Aaron and I do too.

It’s become such an easy way to entertain the kid and get some fresh air that we’ve been making regular trips around the neighborhood. Discovering the countryside around our home is pretty exciting. It’s kind of like driving around a new neighborhood when you move inside city limits – but out here it’s vast fields, cool trees and the occasional weird barn that makes you want to investigate.

With the wind in our hair, we’ve seen sunsets a plenty, deer, foxes, snakes, awesome neighbor pups and tons more. It’s been a fun routine and a great way to find a small escape amidst the chaos of the work week.
