What
do you do to make your construction-obsessed child’s week, no wait, year? You
take them along to the hard rock quarry their Uncle works at. Expertly organised
by their Uncle, this on site visit for Finn and Harper and their cousins was
jam-packed with hands on experiences and a few surprises. As we were driving to
the site we told Finn that he would be seeing some vehicles in action but he didn’t
know that he would be getting the chance to sit inside a few and operate them
too. Our boy who usually doesn’t stop talking, was silenced by the excitement
of it all. This was our day. Full of dirt, noise and Finn’s dreams coming true.

OMG his face in the second shot. I almost expected to see him explode with happy! Wonderful! Isn't it awesome when you can do something for them which just makes their week. When Cody is overwhelmed with happy she does a little squeak and pulls her hands up under her chin - I'm sure Finn was doing his equivalent of happy all day.
ReplyDeleteYes his face was just beaming all day long. How cute that Cody has a little "excitement face". Thanks for your comment Tricia :)
DeleteGorgeous photos Amber! Those Kite kids are just adorable and always so excited with different places, things, roles, excursions, and everyday life with such an awesome mum!
ReplyDeleteThanks Angie! They are an excitable sibling couple :)
DeleteAll of these photos are fantastic. I especially like the one of Finn sitting in the driver's cab. That grin and the way he is holding his hat are just too cute!
ReplyDeleteThey look like they had so much fun! The first photo is my favorite - their shared joy is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteWOW!!! Knowing how much this would mean to Finn... seeing his adorable gleeful face ... this just thrills me!!! how wonderful for him and what a great excursion!!! is this in canberra? I bt he has not stopped talking about it, cant wait to ask him on wednesday. His dream come true and I bet you could hardly stop smiling yourself seeing him so happy. Just lovely, amber!!! Wonderful photos too capturing all the excitement :)
ReplyDeleteI LOVED seeing his reaction. Infact Lach offered to take the kids on his own so I could have a Mumma day but I had to say no. How could I miss seeing him soak all of this up?
DeleteNo, not in Canberra. About an 1hr north of here.
What an amazing gift for Finn! He will be dreaming and talking about this day for ages I bet! Love that photo with him giving you the thumbs up! Glad you were there to see and capture the excitement even though it would have been hard to pass up the opportunity to have a break!
