Construction Worker Eli

Daddy had to work on site one weekend, so Mama and Eli packed up and went to visit.  As soon as Eli heard where we were going, he insisted on getting his construction vest and helmet.  He even wore his snow boots instead of sneakers.  Perhaps he is a future OSHA Safety Officer!

He and Daddy got to look at the diggers and cranes on the site in Norwood.

It was a cloudy day, with rain threatening us the whole time.  Eli was really disappointed that the crane had shut down for the day before we got there, but we took a picture in front of it anyway.

Then we had to say goodbye to Daddy so he could get back to work.

Mama and Eli headed home.  Eli refused to take off the helmet and vest - even when we went to the zoo after leaving the site!  We got some weird looks, but most people got a kick out of him.  He did fall on the trails near the wolves and I was pretty grateful he was wearing the helmet as it saved him from hitting his face on a rock.  He is my child for sure!
