Playing in the Pipes

We have had construction in our neighborhood for months now.  They are building a new housing development, and as a result installing bigger storm and sewer pipes.  We have been watching all the construction with interest, and tonight I took some of the kids and took some pictures in the pipes.

 According to the forklift driver, this pipe weighs 9,000 pounds!

 These pictures were taken in the shovel of a bulldozer.

 This pipe weighs 27,000 pounds according to the forklift driver.

We had a good time!  Maybe I can get all the kids home and in some pictures before they install the rest of the pipes.  They make for interesting props and backgrounds.
