We went to the cabin on Monday with my mom. A short while after we got there, a bulldozer and dump truck arrived to work on digging a ditch by the road that runs right in front of my parents' cabin. Let me just say that it made Grayson's day! We stood outside and watched the men work for a good long while. He was enthralled! When the bulldozer would stop digging or moving rocks he would look at me and say "more, more."
The guys working were really nice and when they were done with the bulldozer and working on something else, they asked if Grayson would like to sit in the cab. Did he ever!? He was such a happy kid.
He looks so tiny in that giant machine! They let him push all the buttons on the inside of the cab. They had of course turned it off, so Grayson kept pushing buttons and pulling levers saying "off, off." I just told him it was off and it was going to stay that way.
The chair swiveled around and then Grayson could look out the back. There was also a horn to honk on a lever at the back and he thought that was pretty awesome. He would just laugh when he pushed the button. Of course, he also laughed at one of the construction guys when he slipped in the ditch, but in his defense it was kind of funny.
When it was time for Grayson to get out, he was really not happy. My mom helped him out and he just went limp and started pitching a fit. The rest of the day he kept talking about dump trucks and tractors.
