We purchased a new home last September. With a considerably bigger yard, we had to purchase a riding mower. We debated on whether to get a zero turn or a regular. I opted for the traditional riding mower so the kids could learn how to drive properly and hopefully also reverse.

They were anxious to give it a try. However, neither Aliza nor Hiram were heavy enough to trigger the switch in the seat to keep it running. We put them together and their combined weight was enough. This is a fun picture of the two of them together learning how to mow! It is also a picture in front of our new front door of our new house/home.

New house, new mower, new skills, new excitement. Hopefully they will be as excited to mow the lawn in a year from now!

The old mower we kept to continue mowing the office lawn and other little jobs as needed around the house.
