Construction Sites

There's been many opportunities for observing construction work this summer: parking lot and road repair/paving, street painting & cleaning, building repair with tower crane,  roofing.

Ian enjoys blocking off our neighbors' sidewalks with cones for various pretend construction work and vehicle accidents.  Ian and I have been making road signs and oversize load signs for his vehicles.

At Digger Days, Ian and Eric sat in several different kinds of big machines and actually operated a mini excavator.
