| Adam lives with his family in Blue Springs, NE. His Grandfather
farms there. Adam loves to help around the farm, so his wish
was to get a John Deere Gator -- a utility vehicle to be able
to get around the farm easily.
Adam's Mom and Dad packed Adam and his sisters -- Naomi,
Dana and Hanna -- into the car for a trip to Lincoln. They
also brought several other family members -- 15 in total –
to be in on the surprise. Adam and all the other kids thought
they were going to Lincoln for a day of shopping…and he wasn’t
thrilled about that.
Once they arrived in Lincoln, however, drove to Lincoln Turf
& Tractor, where a Gator
with Adam's name on it was waiting...literally. His name was
on the license plate. In
addition to the Gator, Brad Burkey, the owner and operator
of Lincoln Turf & Tractor,
gave Adam a John Deere cap, cup, pen and a video on farm machinery.
He is now
officially a John Deere guy, and his favorite color is green.
When Adam saw the Gator for the first time, he said what
all young boys do when they
are impressed. "Wow!" For Adam, that said it all.
Adam was excited, happy and
delighted with his wish. He immediately sat in the driver's
seat and took it for a spin,
and made sure he took his Grandpa. Who knows what those two
farmers discussed as
they proudly gatored through the parking lot?
But, the day wasn't over. The family rode in a Humvee Limousine
to Valentino's for a
complimentary lunch. It was a great end to a spectacular day.
Now, Adam and his Gator are back on the farm. Who says the
best farm animals are
cows or horses? Adam happens to know that the best animals
are Gators!
