Checking Out the New Chopper

We had Tracy and NiCole's crew while they were tied up with the fair.  I was rather pleased by myself when we had homework completed, dinner finished, and everyone situated and in bed by 8:15 pm.  They are good kids and since Hudson and Hailey are in the same class and Jake and Dalanie are both in first grade, homework was streamlined and older kids got to help with the younger ones. 

Something rather exciting happened while they were staying with us.  Our new chopper was delivered.  We took a walk over to the shop to check it out.

Hudson was so excited, noting the differences between the different models.  Of course, his excitement was contagious and all the kids were climbing into the cab and wheel wells.  Brent was there to give them a 'tour' of the cab and they took turns turning the spout.

On the way back, Hudson and Hailey introduced me to the 'waterfall' method of sharing a drink, where one pours it into the others mouth.
