Gifts from the Mailman (or Postman I called him in Wales)

Check out the present I got from my Aunt Eileen and Harold. What's great about getting a new baby brother is that some people know that I feel left out (at least that's what I pretend). So I get sympathy presents for doing nothing! Pretty sweet I think.

Thank you!

Quarry Quest

Today me and my friend Nathan went to Quarry Quest. Quarry Quest is a day when area heavy equipment owners come to the quarry and allow kids to actually ride on the big machines! This picture is Nathan and I checking out the situation before we get on the cranes.

This picture is me showing Nathan which crane I want to ride on.

Here is me driving the crane. My hard hat was a little big, as you can see.

Here is my friend Nathan in a big digger. I waited for almost an hour in line to get on the digger but then I got a little scared when I was supposed to get in. I guess I didn't want to ride it.

After the diggers we went to grab a bite to eat. As you can see the Cheetos and the Doritos got a little out of control. Good thing they had napkins.

The last official thing we did was ride on a dump truck for a quarry tour. It was really awesome. Here is a picture of me and dad on the back of dump truck. The truck was full of sand that we used as a seat!

Here's a picture of the truck so you can get an idea of what I was riding around in.

On the way to and from the quarry we would take school buses from the local high school. Riding the school bus might have been the best part of the day! I can't wait for school. I can't wait for next year.

Off to School

This week I started school. I am such a big boy. I was so excited! I even get to bring my lunch, so I had to go shopping for a lunch box. I picked out the Dora one because she is my favorite. So at school we do all sorts of big boy stuff, learn about shapes, colors and numbers, read Bible stories, and have recess outside. I go to school with my friend Will, so that is really fun too. Well I should sign off now becuase I have homework to do.
