Favorite Childhood Memory
My First Tractor When I was a little boy, I loved everything about tractors. I loved to look at them, try to work on them, and even try to drive them. Everyone in my family knew that I loved tractors. Because of this, one day my grandpa came to my house to pick me up so that I could ride with him to the tractor store. I can still vividly remember that day like it was yesterday. Little did I know that this would be a day that I would not soon forget.
He picked me up and we headed out to the store. On the way there we passed field after field of livestock and my eyes automatically searched for a tractor. I liked tractors of all different kinds but I, also, like to see which kind other people liked best. I knew much more about tractors than other kids my age, which I thought was awesome. I knew every make, every model, and pretty much what ran what. So, I could hardly wait to arrive at the tractor store to observe which kinds were there.
Finally, after riding for what seemed like an hour, we arrived at the tractor store. I felt as if I were in heaven. There were blue tractors, red tractors, tractors of all shapes and sizes, and much more. I checked out every single one until my eyes came across something I just had to have. I had spotted a little orange toy tractor that came with a trailer. I was set on getting it. I ran up to my grandpa in hopes of his approval to purchase it. Thankfully, he agreed.
I was so excited to have my new toy tractor. I remember wanting to begin playing with it as soon as I got out of the store, but my grandpa made me wait. I could not get back home fast enough. When we returned home, I jumped out of the truck and ran inside to show off my new tractor. I promised my grandpa that I would take extra good care of it. I played with my tractor every single day and wherever I went I took my tractor with me.
This is a memory that I’m sure I will always remember. I still think about my little tractor every time that I

    While there we also visited my grandpa who lived on a ranch where it rained avocadoes. Gates that had grown green and fluffy moss at the corners opened up. I saw two monster, bright, neon green four wheelers. My heart beating and being the daredevil of my siblings I was jumping with excitement! Once we were all settled two of my older cousins decided to start the four wheelers up. As I heard the engines roar to life my cousins hollered who wanted a ride. The rest of my cousins beat me to the line and I was last. Standing there impatiently waiting and watching as they sped off into the trees and not returning for about twenty minutes each. The anticipation was killing me! While kicking dirt around I heard the engine coming from a distance, Finally my turn! To my luck my cousins were tired and hopped off the motors. My excitement crushed instantly. My dad came to the rescue and told me he would take me. Excitement…

Most knew where my family resided, as we set up our establishment and named it the Double G Ranch. Amongst my family, included a vast variety of animals. We had everything from racing horses to bulls and even a mean rooster that startled everyone on the farm except for my mother.

    One warm summer day my family was frantically rushing to gather all our belongings for a week long adventure out west. We were trying our best to squeeze every item in the car; finally we were ready to depart from home. I was just fourteen years of age at the time and had never been more than a few states away. The ride there was beyond exciting, but extra long. I believe most of that was due to the anticipation of when we would finally reach the great state of Colorado.…
