Labor Day Trucks

On Labor Day,we went with our friends, The Klentzmans, to Burnet. If you've been reading this blog awhile, you've heard about Mia and Eleanor. Well, their grandparents live on some land in Burnet, and they happen to have some construction trucks that little boys are crazy about! They also have bb guns and skeet shootin', which are fun for the adults, too! So, needless to say, Eli and Jed had a blast. Their favorite thing was the trucks. There was a dump truck, a grader, a skid steer, and a backhoe. Jen was laughing at me and the boys b/c we knew the names of the all trucks and knew all about their functions and parts. She has two girls who call all construction trucks tractors! Eli got to drive the backhoe (Rex's dad really did let him steer around the barn and he did great) as well as control all the parts. Eli moved the stabilizers up and down (a special request by Eli) and even dig a hole with the scoop! Jed got to sit in the backhoe and see all the trucks up close, which was enough for him. It was heaven for the boys!
















Once again, my camera was out of memory at the worst time, so I got short clips of the boys and the backhoe.

In this first one, you can hear Jed say, "I yai duh-dum, Mama!", which means he wants to ride the dump truck. He says "duh-dum" for dump truck. Then you hear Jed say, "Hi Eli!, Hi man!". I guess he didn't know Rex's dad's name. Ha!
