New Road and Riding Trikes

Alex learned to ride his trike in the last couple weeks. It's mostly due to the fact he finally grew enough to reach the pedals. :) Every day the boys just go out on the new concrete slab and ride their bikes. Adam rides his bike Flinstone-style and is just as fast as Alex. Actually, Adam can turn better than Alex. He rides around one handed and looking off to one side or another, yet he always turns at the last second and never hits anything. We use chalk and draw roads on the concrete for the boys to follow. Alex does a good job of staying in the lines. Adam just doesn't care and rides wherever he wants. Alex likes to put some tools in his orange basket and put in on his handles. That way he has his tools with him whenever something "breaks."

Fixing my washer and dryer

This past week they started paving the new road behind our house. They still have a ways to go, but it was exciting to see them working so close again. From what I can tell, they only did half of one side of the road. So I'm thinking they'll be back there again 3 more times in the future...

I dont really know what this thing did.

As far as I can tell, it just moved down the road and made a long hill of fine dirt.

These aren't in order, but the next few pics are of the paving train.This is the last of 3 machines. I think it puts the final finish on the concrete.

The first machine. The dump trucks were lining up to dump their fresh concrete into it.

Machine #2. Smoothed the concrete? So did all the guys standing around behind it.

The first machine again.
