Back to Work.

I came upon this after parking at a friends home and art studio while on the Dixon Studio tour. His son must have been in the midst of a construction project and decided to take a break. It brought back memories of the Tonka trucks that my dad used to by for me.

I have always admired all these huge machines and the projects attached to them! Especially when they park in a row at night.
Yes you are right they remind me too of the children's toys, we still have a couple of them.

Looks almost real! I used to have Tonka Toys, too. For awhile we lived near Minnetonka, Minnesota, where they are made.

At least their toys are affordable when boys are that age.
