On Saturday FMC had a safety day and picnic. We were a little wishy washy about going just because it was on Brock's birthday. Well we finally decided to go, and we are so glad that we did. FMC put on a great picnic. The food was great. They had huge blow up slides for the kids, lots of treats, a "dig for Trona" sandbox, fire safety, plant tours, mine tours, and lots of other things. It took a little convincing on Brocks part to go on the mine tour. I was a little nervous to go down 16oo feet under ground being so pregnant, but I survived it. (A mine shaft is not the first place I would pick to deliver a baby). A lot of the guys in there gave me a hard time, but all in all told me that if I needed to, they would get me out of there quick. I was also nervous to just drop Kayden off at a little babysitting booth while we left for an hour to go down into the mine. I could just see him running off or something, and someone not seeing him, but he did great. I get myself so worked up and worried about things like that, that sometimes its hard for me to go and have a good time. I was definitely glad to come back and see that he was having a great time in the huge sandbox. Kayden was so excited about all of the things going on. They had an ambulance there, and a police booth with a little crash simulator that was pretty neat. He just kept pointing at things and shrieking with excitement. The fire department had a booth set up where you had to put out a fire. We got a free fire extinguisher out of it. (We have been meaning to buy one of those forever because our house doesn't have one....and now we do...YAY!) We had a great day and learned lots about where daddy works. We hope FMC does this again soon.

Brock loved going down into the mine. They told us a lot of stuff about equipment and other things that went right over my head, but it was all pretty interesting to see.
Here is me next to a huge machine...don't ask me what it does!! (look I'm not the biggest thing in the world
Coming back up

FUN! It looks like you guys had a blast...and you look FANTASTIC!! Like I'll say for the 100millionth time..I wish I looked that good pregnant!
Sarah, if you think you look huge then I was a planet with my own gravitation pull! You look great! That machine looks kind of fun. Without blowing in up it looks like a pile of soda cans. Sounds like a very fun picnic! Brock didn't mention all the fun stuff they had there, but he is a boy and details don't matter! :-)
