Ellie didn't want to leave the lot today, she was having too much fun exploring. Her stubborn, 2 year old nature ended up making our trip great! Just as I was about to pick Ellie up and carry her to the van, the cement truck pulled up! We watched as it backed up to the hole and the mixer began making all kinds of noise and turning around and around, mixing the cement.
We loved watching the men work together to guide the truck, maneuver the chute (we learned that this person is called the chuteman) and spread the cement out .
Soon after the cement truck showed up the concrete forms arrived!
It wasn't too much longer before our neighbor Phil (pictured) came over and soon after another neighbor, John came over. They have both lived on the street for many years and raised their children here. They were so friendly and told us a lot about the street. Not long after one of our friends from the Clayton Family Center, Carrie and her daughter Abbey, came down the street (Carrie's mother and father in law live on this street) and invited us to meet her mother in law, then out came Jen, another neighbor. Emma and Ellie loved meeting everyone. On the way home Emma said "we already know more people on Yale than we do on Rosebury".
