wind

On Sunday we went to the Wild Horse Wind & Solar Facility to check out the wind mills up close. They have a tour that requires hardhats and safety glasses, so we got ready and headed out.

This is the boys talking into one of the huge blades. It was cool for them because it echoed and then they learned that it was shaped similar to an airplane wing (which is the one fact Andrew took away with him).

And even though Andrew looks like he's very interested in the tour, that was not quite how it was. We lasted maybe 10 minutes before heading back. But he sure looked cute.

Proof that me and Melissa were there.

It was beautiful up at the visitor center. I think the wind mills look cool from the road, but they're even cooler up close. And from the hill you have a great view of the mountains.

We plan to go back when we can actually take the tour. And when we do, we'll be sure to wear close-toed shoes so that we don't have to use one of their loaner pairs...
