Find Big Trucks! (or other equipment)

Now this is not just for the boys... most kids love seeing big equipment in action. If there is construction going on near you, you can find some. Cranes are there when they put the roof on a house, roads are repaved, power trucks are fixing the wires. Big equipment is everywhere.

Take the time to drive around during the weekdays (mostly, unless you are in a big city) and try to find some construction. Pull over at a safe distance and either watch it from the car or get out if it is safe. We have stopped at a construction site for a shopping center and watched the crane move pipes. We also have a family member that has a crane and we have watched him lay trusses. Today, my dad has a tractor out working in his yard.

Always take advantage of the big trucks!
