There are probably 10 earth movers and they are enourmous. We drove by them today and my son said, "Daddy! They're so.... pretty!"

We saw a hot air balloon a block from our motel room window when we were in Iowa. The kids said, "Mom, we see a balloon!" and I was looking for one that a kid had lost. It was close enough that we could see the flames in the burner and it took off in front of us. A blimp is cool cool cool!

(It wasn't the Goodyear blimp, it was a MetLife blimp.) I saw it on the way home from work. It was quite low and travelling in our direction - essentially right over the main road that's just 8 houses from our house - so I called Tim and told him to take the kids out to the front yard. They got a great view and were excited to tell me all about it when I got home a few minutes later. We saw a blimp not too long ago! (It wasn’t the Goodyear blimp, it was a MetLife blimp.)

Little boys seem to be inherently drawn to things like that!
