Touch A Truck!

What better way to begin our blog than to talk about our morning! We went to Touch A Truck - an event put on by one of the local Parks and Rec programs. Unfortunately, in usual form, I got lost on the way there, so there were already lines at every truck. (Next year mom promised to plan better and to get better directions.) The kids persevered and waited patiently in the 85+ degree heat to climb into some of their favorite trucks - garbage trucks, a mail truck, snow plows, tractors, and a HUGE fire truck. There was even a party bus and a "chicken limo." The boys had a great time. Unfortunately it was so hot that we left after only an hour and had to miss the ambulance and rescue helicopter. We were asked to vote on the way out and both kids said their favorite truck was the fire truck - really was amazing to see the height of the ladder and the length of the truck.
We hit up a local park on the way home and the kids splashed around in the creek. And of course, a few rocks were thrown into the water as well. :-)

Go Grant Go!

Brrm, Brrm!

Is this how you do it?

Oh, OK...here we go! Hold tight!

Thanks for the help Mr. Fireman!

Look at that rock go!

 I promise Beckett was not hurt in the taking of this photo! :-)
