Blake and I visited the landfill and burnplant this week. Yes, I went to the dump for a guided tour(For Blake's Academic Project). It was great, really! Blake wanted to learn more about recycling and what happens to our garbage when it leaves our house, I learned alot!! The Landfill Manager gave us a personal tour of the place, I can't believe what people throw away..WASTE, WASTE, WASTE! Another amazing thing is how awesome they are at recycling there at the landfill, there is so much that they are doing there for all of us! They take our garbage and reuse it in so many ways!
Blake loved the huge garbage crunching tractor at the landfill, they even let him operate it.
The burn plant was interesting, I'm glad they burn 90% of the garbage and only take the 10% to bury at the landfill. When we drove by the ponds you could hear frogs chirping in the pond, the landfill manager said it is chuck full of polywogs and frogs!! At the end, he took us in his office and showed us his pet tarantula, I stayed in the hallway~!
Also, it was Austin's last day at "Nastics" this week, I had my camera out of focus for some shots, sorry.
Things have been SOOOOOOOO busy here! I realize I don't have any pictures of Parker, so here ya go...He has been very busy and with us every step of the way!
Hope all is well with you!

You are a good mom - there aren't many who will take their boys to places like the dump. How cool that he got to operate the crusher thingy! Blake is going to change the world - next thing I know he will be on Oprah as the next child prodigy! Can't wait to see you guys - we need girls nights and playdates! What days are your kids out of school?
Wow, garbage fun! You are a cool mom to take him to the dump! All that garbage makes me want to keep recycling more!
