Take Kid to work day

Last Thursday was my company's Take Your Child to Work day.  Zach had been asking me to take him to work during the school year and I kept telling him he would have to wait for summer time so when I told him that I was going to take him to work he was so excited!  My company goes all out for this day to help kids see what their mommy and daddy do at work.  They have stations with games about oil and gas stuff and they have people show them things dealing with oil and gas.  The first time they had this I took Brenden with me and he had a great time so I knew Zach would too and he did!  Many things have changed but it is still fun for them.  I think Zach's favorite part was the geologist showing them fossils and how they look for them and find out how old they are to help determine if there will be oil or gas.  But he also enjoyed the marketing game, the guys making balloon things (he got a bow and arrow) and drilling for oil and gas! 

This is him drilling for oil and gas... if the pencil had red it was oil and your got 3 pieces of candy.. if it was green on the bottom it was gas and you got 1 piece of candy.. if you didn't have any color then you had a dry hole and you got no candy..the one with the most candy after 5 mins got a cool toy! Zach didn't do so hot and only got 4 pieces of candy..

They had some boards up and some clothes where they could dress up and take pictures.. isn't he cute!

It was a great day and we both had a lot of fun!  Can't wait to do it again next year!
