This week we met Tiara's special guest.  She invited her daddy, Mr. Chris Vance.  Mr. Vance was originally from New Jersey although his parents were from NC and VA.  He began working when he was only 16 years old.  He could practically be a car mechanic because he spent a lot of time fixing cars and working in an auto supply parts store.  Mr. Vance began working for Costco 15 years ago and his first job there was as a night time stocker.  He has worked in lots of parts of the store but now he is the receiving manager.  He has to go to work at 4 in the morning and meet the delivery trucks.  One of the parts of his job that he shared with us that we really enjoyed was his temperature gun.  He uses this to be sure all the food coming in on the trucks is a certain temperature.  Mr. Vance also is the person who is in charge of all the forklifts and heavy machines at Costco.  He showed us pictures of some of these machines and the batteries that they take which can be 2,000 lbs!  Tiara's daddy works a lot but his favorite thing is to spend time with his family when he gets time off.  We all can't wait to visit him at Costco now that we know where his office is!

Our group shot!

We love to make those silly faces!
