Today was, by far, our BEST Touch-A-Truck EVER.
I'm not joking. These three little guys and I had SO much fun!
This was our first year going without a stroller, and I think that was a big part of it. Not once was there a complete meltdown. Not even from me, when the van wouldn't start afterwards.
Here are some of my favorite photos.
(Note to self- Choose one activity per day: take 100 pictures with your phone OR leave the lights on in your van so it won't start. Not both.)
The sprayer (above)
It had a kick to it- the boys were shocked every time!
The sprayer slide:
Peter was not at all scared.
Suckers helped us wait in line.
The boys got to get their hands right on the controls!
He was already excited about all of the rescue heroes we were going to meet.
On the way there, he was making big plans to be a rescue hero himself some day.
And so this was my favorite moment:
This was pretty fun too.
The police car!
Marcus was excited to learn about bullet proof glass.
Fire truck!
THEN, we saw a helicopter in the sky, and it circled around and landed in the field!
We waited in line to check it out.
They were getting a little tired of lines by this point.
And photos.
In the helicopter!
I was so glad I packed our lunches! We went back to the van, starving, and so I threw some cheese at them. Then, I noticed my lights were on. GREAT. Moby wouldn't start.
So we ate in the van, and they didn't understand why we didn't just "get moving," but I just smiled and hoped the van would start again if I gave it ten minutes.
Nope.
So we went back to the parking-lot. I expected to find someone from White Creek, as I had just seen about 100 people I knew, but they were all gone.
No matter.
It was a day for rescue heroes!
Where do we go when we need a helper, boys?
Let's ask this police officer!
Much to the boys delight, the officer was able to give us a jump with no problems.
(Though I think Marcus was a LITTLE disappointed to see that giving Moby a jump didn't mean that Moby would ACTUALLY jump up in the air!)

because we are farmers, I must comment. The slide is on a JD Sprayer, not a combine! (At least it doesn't appear to be one as seen in the pictures!!)
Looks like an awesome day that any boy would love!!
Duly noted and edited!
I am still such a city girl! So much to learn!
