Today was SUCH a fun day!
Dad and I got to do something special: we went to a fundraising event called 'Dozer Day' - where kids (and adults) get to operate REAL heavy machinery (with the help of trained professionals) in the Camas quarry.
I got to ride in the back of a dump truck with Dad, I got to ride in the shovel of a bulldozer, I got to operate the shovel of a ditch digger, and I got to scramble all over a variety of diggers, cranes, haulers, bulldozers and other BIG machines.
Dozer Day - the proceeds went towards local children's charities.
...try making a tire swing out of THIS one, Dad!
Pretending to operate a mini-bulldozer...
...oh wait, need to buckle up first to be safe!
In the cab of a crane - nobody got to operate this one, but kids were allowed to climb into the cab to pretend and to honk the horn.
Time for a little rest.
This is me digging a ditch! A guy sat inside the cab with me and told me how to operate the shovel.
It was lots of fun (and I bet Dad was jealous, but he wouldn't have fit into the cab with the other guy)
...another large machine I got to climb on - check out the profile on those wheels!
And finally, Dad and I showing off our cool haircuts that Momma gave us yesteray.
What a good day!
I got completely and utterly soaked in the very first puddle I jumped in!
Walking around the block provided PLENTY of other puddles to hop, jump, stomp, run and swish in.
Little boys (and girls) are probably the only ones who REJOICE in the street and sidewalk drainage problems in Cascade Park.
Because this puddle was safely on the sidewalk my Momma let me run back and forth in it for a while, which gave Aunt Hanna the chance to take some pictures.
