Todd called me from work this morning to say it was truck day on his current job site. All kinds of trucks were coming to get the pole barn floor done and get a trench dug for electrical stuff. Let's see... a skid steer, a dump truck, a mini-excavator and a cement mixer..... Hey kids -- wanna go see huge trucks?
Ready to leave in 20 minutes flat. Evan dresses himself these days :-) and thhe 30 minute drive out to North East was suprisingly pleasant in anticipation of the fun!!The skidsteer stole the show.
Evan drove it. By himself. Up and down the driveway and even turned it in a "donut" once (that was his favorite part).
Chloe LOVES skidsteers too, although she didn't get to ride in it. She used to call them "digga-deers" now it's "stick-steers" and one of her favorite toys at home is our little die-cast metal one.
Since we are friends with the folks Todd is working for, Miss Linda said Evan could check out some of the big bikes in the garage. Sit on a real dirt bike??? Yeah, he liked that idea. He kept caressing the nubby tires too ;-)
The mini-excavator dug a trench that Evan wanted to climb into...
... he just ran along giggling to himself and jumped back out. Funny guy.
We got to see the dump truck unload the gravel too but that was nothing new (dump trucks are always around where we live). So, what to do next... ???
Off we go over the hill in Miss Linda's beautiful backyard to the cool playground :-)
Oh, wait! Gotta stop to check out the burrow. Cool!
Evan stuck his entire leg and then his entire arm in it... then he sat in it.
Ok, back to that playground.
This teeter-totter swing thing was great. Freedom found for a boy who refuses to "pump" his legs on swings -- we are in a battle over it. I won't push him on swings anymore, so this was the ultimate fun for him!
And finally, check out just one of the amazing views on this property. It was soooo peaceful even with all the work noise going on.
How many families get to spend a "work" day together like this? We are really blessed! (or as Napolean Dynamite would say: "Lucky.")
