Dozer Days 2011

Every 3rd weekend of May, a corporation in our town sponsors Dozer Days.  It's great for kids!  The event is at a stone quarry and the kids get to drive and work heavy machinery - digger machines, bull dozers, earth movers...etc.  D was all excited to go, so yesterday morning we headed off.  Trying to beat the crowds, we got there at 10:30 and they don't open until 11.  Ummmm, yea, it was a plan to beat the crowds, but the line was hella long getting in.

As we were standing in line a lady walked up to me and asked if we'd like some tickets - FREE!  Heck yea, I said!  They were legit tickets - I guess she's a teacher and her principal had given a bunch to each teacher.  WOO HOO!!  Yay me for getting there early!

Once the "doors" opened D pointed to the closest biggest digger machine to operate.  No line!  Again, YAY for going early.  Then he headed off to a bull dozer.  He climbed on huge tires, dug through a sand pit for toys, sat in a fire truck, got pelted with candy and as we were leaving we picked up some cotton candy.   D was ready to go in less than 1.5 hours, so I was REALLY glad that I didn't pay.
