Transportation day III

It's that time of the year again, Transportation day at one of the local churches. This year both kids were able to make it which was a first. We missed the helicopter landing this year because of swimming lessons. Lauren feels right at home in the driver's seat of a school bus.


Another photo of Lauren in the driver's seat. This time a brand new garbage truck. She looks way too happy behind the wheel.

...and moving truck....


...and police car.


No rides this year but the kids got to pet the horse.

Flight Festival

Mesa had a Takes Flight Festival this past weekend so we decided to check it out. Cole and Lauren stopped to ride the airplane.


Lauren is posing with her butterfly that she decorated.


Cole loved flying the paper airplanes and helicopters.

Big Benny

Intel recently hosted a family day to check out "Big Benny", the largest land based crane in the world. They are using it to build their newest factory.


Lauren and Cole are checking out the large trucks.


Here's a shot of the entire crane. It's pretty impressive, especially up close.
