Construction Vehicles

One of the main roads by our house has undergone repaving recently. For two weeks the road was all chopped up and bumpy. Every day we drove down this road on our way to Kelly's Declan would ask about what they were doing and why it was so bumpy.

Yesterday morning they started laying down the new asphalt and the entire length of the street was lined with dump trucks or other construction vehicles.

"Declan, look. They're putting the new road down."

"Ooooooo. There's so many construction vehicles. Do you want to know what I know of construction vehicles?"

"Sure."

"Ok. So the dump truck has lots of dirt in it and it dumps it in a hole and then you cover it up. The steam roller makes the road all sticky. Does it make it sticky?"

"Well it makes the road nice and flat and yes it can be sticky."

"Ok so the steam roller makes it sticky. Then there's the road cleaning truck with the brushes."

"The road sweeper."

"Ya. A road sweeper. It brushes up the road so it can be made new."

"Sure. Ok."

"And there's a Crane. The crane moves big heavy things like pipes."

"That's right."

"On Peppa Pig Mr. Bull can move pipes without a crane."

Cute.
