Late Night

Yesterday afternoon Hunter and I and Brayden drove to Layton to meet Jennifer and Troy. Since Jesse is working nights this week and we NEVER get to see him when he does this Hunter and I decided to stop and have dinner with him on our way back home. I am a very whinny wife especially when Jess works nights! Anyone who talks to me ever knows this! I just like my husband around way to much to have him gone all night and sleeping all day. Hunter LOVES to go to work with Jesse. On the weekends if they are not working Jesse has to go up and check the job and Hunter is always the one that wants to go with Jess.

So these pictures are a little hard to see since it was dark and all but it was so exciting to watch I had to put them on here and tell you about them. There are two cranes in this picture down on the ground. They are adding a giant concrete beam to a bridge on the freeway. Well they had the two cranes attached to each side and were lifting it in to place and we were just watching the fun. Next thing we know the crane on the right looses power and the beam starts swaying back and forth. We were safely on the ground and back a ways but some of the workers were right up on the bridge helping to get this beam placed. So when this thing started swaying they started backing up. Next thing you know the crane on the rights's back end flies up in the air and the giant beam comes crashing down! Luckily the guys all got out of the way and no one was hurt but the beam was smashed! All of you who live in Utah and drive on the freeways in Salt Lake will be happy to know that the beam was then deemed unusable and they had to have another crane come in to lift it out of there so they could order a new beam! The ground actually shook were we were standing from all the force of this beam falling up on the freeway.


This picture is after the beam fell. Notice the right side is touching the ground and the left side is still up in the air.

This is the crane they had to bring in to help get the damaged beam off the freeway.

Hunter was so tired after all this fun Jesse gave him a shoulder ride to the truck for us to go home. Like I say Hunter loves going to work with Jesse. We got to Jesse's job at 8:00 pm and watched all the fun until 1:00 am! We didn't even get dinner until 11:00 because of all of this excitement. I was pretty tired and so was Hunter but he wanted to see them get that other crane there and get the beam moved so we stayed and stayed! The things we do to spend time with our husbands! Don't worry Jesse will be off nights Friday night (we hope) and won't go back to them for a while (we hope!)
