Big Trucks and Track Hoes

I'm a bit behind. We've been a busy group lately. But I wanted to share a few pictures of our outing the day before Father's Day. We decided to go up to the Kennecott Copper Mine. We knew there would be big trucks and machinery. The perfect outing for a little boy who can spot a track hoe half a mile away.

Here Cormac is looking down into the mine and shouting "truck."


Poor girl, it was hot out. She was tired and not really in the mood to look at trucks.

Looking at trucks with Daddy.

No trip to the mine is complete without a picture with the big tire.

This is Cormac's definition of Heaven, except there would be no glass between him and the models.


We tried to get a photo together. Cormac just wanted to go see the trucks again. . .

It was a very upsetting experience for Cormac to leave. He was distraught. I think he would have stayed all day. He really loves trucks. He used to just know truck and track hoe. So if it wasn't a truck he'd call it a track hoe. He now knows the difference between a track hoe, back hoe, loader, bulldozer, bobcat, and tractor. He also loves planes, helicopters, and trains. Anything you could ride in really.

As we drive down the street Cormac will say, "Look track hoe (or whatever it is he spotted)" over and over until someone acknowledges it. Then he says "Bye track hoe, miss you track hoe." He also does this with animals.

To end the trip we made a stop to see Ammon's grandma. She is very good to us.


Cormac loves to play at Grandma Jaynes' house. Azure loves to be snuggled. It was a great time.
