Saturday the 12th was the annual Quarry Quest in Neenah so Mom and Sam decided to go check it out! Kids get to "drive" excavators, front end loaders, and cranes and then can ride in cherry pickers and a big dump truck.
Sam had a wonderful time, but the driving of the vehicles was not as high on his list as we thought! He didn't really like the idea of sitting on a stranger's lap (which Mommy guesses is an overall good thing). He did the excavator, and Mommy and Sam went together in the front end loader, but he didn't want to do the crane. Mommy got video of him in the excavator, and you can see him talking with the operator.
Here's a look at one part of Quarry Quest. It is huge and so well run! There are tons of people but also tons of volunteers.
Sam liked driving the motorized jeep around. He was pretty good at it considering they had some sharp turns. His practice with his "monster truck" paid off!
Here is a view from the upper quarry before riding the big dump truck.
Sitting on a pile of dirt in the big dump truck (with the gold he panned for).
This was Sam's favorite part. The GIANT sand hill! Mom and Sam were at Quarry Quest from 9am-3pm, and Sam was here for probably almost 2 hours total. He would have stayed longer!
Trying out the bike race track!
Making cement...
He chose the letter S to put his cement he made in. Smoothing it out...
He got to make his own road in a bottle. He was very proud of it!
On the way home. Tuckered out!
