Magnum Concrete Field Trip

Last week all of the Kindergarten classes at Melissa's school went on a field trip to Magnum Concrete.

When we got there, all the kids were given hard-hats and vests...
Soon the field was swarming with little workers...
A quick debriefing before heading to the Magnum property...
The kids got to explore some of their large equipment...
And sit in the driver's seat (pull the air horns if the child desired... what a racket!) Baby Thomas was certainly able to hear the noise in utero!
Melissa's morning class posing in a loader bucket, Melissa got blocked at the last minute...
Next the children moved onto a large sand hill which they raced up. Melissa didn't make it too far up before she turned around to tell me she was getting dirty! LOL... this was completely unavoidable, and I told her to go for it!
Didn't take long and she was into it...
Dirty hands...

Lastly the kids made a craft for Father's Day... which I'm going to hold off posting pics of until she gets to give the gift to her Dad. Everyone was treated to a hotdog bbq and the trip was done. Turned out to be a fun morning... wasn't sure what to expect at first, but the kids did have a great time! I was so thankful the rain held out for our entire time there. Melissa got the dirtiest she ever has.... it would have been fun to have measured how much sand she brought home on her person/clothing!
