Intel is growing and expanding yet again! We are so thankful Kevin works for such an rewarding company and we appreciate being a part of such an awesome "Intel family".
The Intel location Kevin works at (Ocotillo site in Chandler, AZ) is building a new manufacturing facility. It will be the largest of its kind in the world. They will be making the next generation of computer chips at this facility. It has been a blast to watch them prepare the area, and then bring in the largest crane in the world to put up the large roof trusses. It is really cool, that from many of the freeways around the valley, you can view this crane! It truly is huge, and President Obama spoke in front of the construction site and crane when he visited the valley in January of this year! This whole process has been very fun, and because Kevin works as a software engineer, we don't see a whole lot of the manufacturing side of things, so this was a great look into Intel in it's entirety. Ashley has enjoyed every minute of watching the building and we can't wait to see it's final reveal!
Intel opened up the construction site for families to come and view the crane up-close and personal as well as enjoy food, music, and friends! We had a great time, despite the crazy wind, and got some awesome pictures!

| Oh' yea, going to Daddy's work |

| They gave out "soft" hardhats as a gift to the kiddos, but we had one of our windiest days in a while and they couldn't keep them on! Cute idea though! |

 |
| Amazed with the crane, enjoying a sucker, and trying not to blow away in the wind! :) They are sooo cute! :) |

A fun day, but exhausted! :)

Here are a few pictures from President Obama's speech at Intel as well as renderings of Intel's projection for site.
