Sunriver part 4 – Pools, Ponies, and Logging Machines
July 9th, 2011. (3 years, 1 month old.) by benAfter the big canoe trip, it was time for something a little more relaxing – and where we could actually get in the water without freezing our piggies off! Guess what? SunRiver has a pool!
The next day, we took a trip to the stables. I got to go for a ride on Dottie the pony while Mommy & Uncle John went for a horse ride.
Later on, we finally found some time to clean the car and get it ready for the trip back home.
We had dinner over at Aunt Carol and Uncle John’s SunRiver house. There was lots of yummy cheese and grapes!
The next day, on the way home, we stopped at place with lots of big equipment that we could look at. This machine chops down trees all by itself! Boy is it tall! I asked, but Daddy said I couldn’t drive it. That sure would have been fun.

And here is a grader just like in my Richard Scarry books!
Daddy says they used the grader to make roads into the forest so they could get the trees out to the lumber mill.
It looks as though Ben was a very busy boy at Sun River. I’m sure a great time was had by all the family. It also appears that Ben got some up close and personal time with some big road making equipment. I bet the machines were bigger than he thought they would to be. The Richard Scary books just can’t do them justice. They are even bigger than Daddy! I bet Ben would love to steer that big grader around in the forest! For now just climbing on it was probably lots of fun.
