Our "Cat" Adventure!!

This morning for play group we went to the Wheeler Cat Dealer in Logan. It was AWESOME! We drive by their store all the time and Dillon always asks if he can ride on their machines. I called and to my surprise the guys at the store said they'd love to take our kids on a tour and for some rides! At the end of the tour they even gave the kids tractors that they could take home! Notice Dillon's sour face...he didn't get a "scooper" (backhoe) so he was really upset. We had a long talk about manners today.
This is a picture of our tour guide Josh closing the door and taking Dillon for a ride in the biggest machine on the property. He said that it weighs over 150,000 pounds. Dillon didn't care, he just wanted it to go "faster Mommy!"

Josh took our kids in this backhoe...and that was probably the highlight for Dillon. He got to help drive it and then when they were clear of the other machinery they spun around and around, followed by scooping the gravel. Dillon was in heaven. I don't care what people say, there is no nurture involved in his love for big machines, trucks, and trains...he was born that way!
Dillon LOVING his tour of the big machine plant! Thanks to Josh and Brian at Wheeler for letting our kids come and explore! And also, thanks to the Call family for coming with us...we had lots of fun!

Sorry we didn't make it. Wyatt and I headed out to baby animal days taking advantage of the nice weather. I am sure he would have loved seeing the big trucks! He too was born that way.
