Family Day at Daddy's Work

Oliver got to visit Mommy at work a few weeks ago, but I work for a finance agency and sit in a cubicle, so it couldn't have been that exciting, except that one of my co-workers drew Oliver pictures of fire trucks and he really liked that. 

But today Oliver got to visit Daddy's work and that had to have been a lot more exciting.  Chris works for Andersen Windows, so his work place has big machines, tools and forklifts.  And it was Family Day, so company provided a huge breakfast and various activities set up for the kids, who otherwise aren't allowed in the plant.  There were carnival-type games, like Plinko and bean bag toss, (after tossing his bean bag, Oliver then wanted to slide down the bean bag stand) with prizes, but the cutest activity was where the kids constructed "piggy" banks to look like replica Narroline windows.  After 50 years, the company is retiring the product.

Chris said the people who work in the model shop, (the guys who build the displays for the dealers and contractors who sell their products) spent a few weeks custom cutting all the pieces of wood and plexi-glass windows and designing the directions.
