Mechanical Saturday

On Saturday we took a tour of the Vulcan Quarry near our house. They mine granite there and have quite an impressive operation. After learning more about the company and their business at the Community Center, we climbed on a school bus and took a tour of the "hole". It's already huge and they said that they have enough granite to mine for another 50 years or so. After our tour, Katherine climbed on the Wheel Loader and the Off-Road Dump Truck that they parked behind the Community Center.




















Later that afternoon, Katherine helped Daddy tighten the bolts on the table legs. She even figured out how the socket wrench goes together.
