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!
