Brady and the kitty CAT

Our cul de sac has been the storage yard of construction trucks, trailers, and tractors for months--most of the houses on our street are finally being landscaped--and it's unattractive & annoying, but when Wendy saw this CAT (short for Caterpillar) parked out there, we started scheming about how we could take a picture of Brady sitting in it without the workers noticing. Early this morning Wendy quickly got him dressed & we headed out for a quick photo. As we approached the CAT, we suddenly became aware of a man in the tool shed/trailer that was parked just a few feet away. We froze on the spot, not sure if we should proceed with the photo shoot. Should we just casually turn around & walk back to the house, abandoning the plan? We were pretty suspicious just standing there in the cul de sac and me with my big camera hanging around my neck! I took the straightforward approach and asked if he minded if I took a picture of my son in his CAT. He was very obliging and even offered to let us use a hard hat, but he couldn't find one. It was pretty funny & Brady really liked sitting in the mini tractor. As we were walking away he asked, "Did we take a picture in the kitty?" Brady the Builder (in barefeet!) That's our house in the background.
