Tractors and Trucks

Every spring and fall the city we live in offers a bulk trash day where you can pile up all of your big trash and they come and take it to the dump for you. This week it was our turn. We had a small pile consisting of a few tree branches, but on Tuesday someone came by and dumped a whole truck load of stuff right in our pile. Unfortunately I was not fast enough to get a license plate so we just had to live with this huge pile in front of our house, without anyone getting in trouble for it. I guess it matched the lawn, and luckily it was all legal stuff for the pick up. That evening it rained and Josh asked why the beavers built a dam in our street.



(you can't tell from the picture, but the pile also goes halfway into the street)

This morning the trucks and tractors pulled into our neighborhood to take all of the stuff away. The boys were really excited and tried to wait patently on the porch for them to get to our pile.


Joe wanted to take some pictures of it so I let him use my camera. He got some fun pictures.

(He took all of the ones he is not in.)











In the end it was more fun to have a big pile for them to take away, because the big trucks and tractor stayed longer. The boys were really excited when the dump truck pulled into our driveway. They also thought it was great that our pile filled the whole truck.

I love that he thought the beavers did it! That is a HUGE pile of (not your) stuff! Glad it was all legal and taken off your hands. :)
