Construction Rodeo






We took Tucker to a construction rodeo yesterday. Basically, it was set up for contractors to show off their big machinery, to each other and to the general public. It was one of those unique events advertised both to general contractors and families with little boys.

There was lots of big machines. Everywhere. Actually, there were so many, it was a bit intimidating for the little man. Check out how serious he looked, and how tightly he clung to his daddy.

Some other highlights:
*We watched a wood cannon fire 2x4 boards at various types of walls.

*Tucker and I went in the moon bounce together. It was his idea not mine--after he got over being petrified, he really liked flying in the air.

*Tucker got a hard hat from the folks at Martin Marietta (though he preferred it if I wore it).

*Added bonus: there were tons of pickup trucks in the parking lot. Tucker helpfully pointed out every truck he saw, and let us know if it was like Daddy's or not.

We capped off a fun morning by our first trip to the farmer's
market for the year, and brunch at the diner.
