What a Fun Morning...

We went on a little walk this morning and on our way home, we got to watch a backhoe change from the jackhammer part to the little scoop part. It was cool and fits just like the foot on a sewing machine. One of the men came over to chat (a grandfather-type of man) with Ben who was dressed as a cowboy standing next to his bike. We found out they were getting ready to dig up some of the alley around the corner from us. So, we all walked together, with the backhoe and dump truck following us down the alley to our house. We stopped to drop off Ben's bike then went to meet the trucks. They kept waving us on until we were about 10 feet from the actioin where we sat on the grass and just watched the backhoe work its magic! The backhoe driver and the dump truck driver communicated with walkie-talkies, which I thought was really neat! It was such an exciting experience!

What a great morning! We've had a similar experience b/c they're repairing the water lines in the intersection in front of our house. Carter's been glued to the window!
