Happy Friday!!
I was in Timmins this week for work. Our company is celebrating a milestone anniversary so we were having a party. I was on the planning committee so we had lots to do the week of the party to get ready, and we did the usual back and forth of will there be too many people, not enough, too many, but then it was the perfect number in the end.
I had a bit of an adventure getting there, which is always the way it seems. First flight cancelled so needed to rebook and get to a different airport. I am loving this dress for travelling. I only needed to put my sweater on at the end of the flight.
The work party was held outside in our parking lots so the maintenance facility brought over some shiny new units - a scoop and a haulage truck.
These machines are big, but are also short because they need to travel in underground mines. Surface mining equipment is way bigger.
Some raffle prizes, bouncy castles in the back.
A customized drink container.
We were so lucky to have this beautiful day and like I said, we had the perfect amount of attendees.
Meanwhile Dave and the boys went to a Blue Jays game with Q's tball team. If you zoom in you can see where their team was noted on the big screen (High Park Tball Yankees).
Hope you have a great summer weekend! We are off to a cottage with friends so we will have a great time.
Those machines are so huge!! Good to hear that the party went well and have a wonderful time away this weekend!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your companies milestone anniversary. It sounds like a great event. Those machines look big and so fancy. Have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteThat is the perfect weather! My son, my husband, and my husband's family are all involved in surface mining (on a smaller scale so while the equipment is big it isn't the crazy giant machines I know exist for "other" surface mining operations) and my son in particular loves driving all the heavy equipment.
