Dump

A couple of weeks ago, we all went to the local dump after cleaning out one of the rental houses Kyle manages. This was a great day for the kids. It is quite amazing. It is not like the one in VA but it is inside a huge warehouse like building. The private people can pull up the front and unload. In the back there is a huge pile of trash that comes from the dump trucks bringing the trash and dumping it from like 3 stories high on the pile. Mean while there are a couple of "tractors" as Tanner called them, with "tracks" and run over and push around all the trash and eventually push into a hole that leads to the back of a semi where they take it out to a landfill place outside of the city. My kids sat and watched this in amazement for over 3 min while Kyle unloaded all the trash from the trailer.

You may be wondering why I am sharing all the details. Well, my kids new favorite game is dump. Sound fun right. Well here is how it goes. Take all the toys, dump everything in one big pile using the empty tubs as dump trucks. Then get the ride on toys and rid over the top of it with the tractors. LOL. It was quite the site I found after they had been playing so nicely for quite a while. It took a long time to clean it all up. They were playing again this afternoon and I haven't been up to see the damage, but I bet it is impressive.
