Touch A Truck

In the middle of August, Owen, Addie, my mom and I went to an awesome free Touch-A-Truck in Springfield near my parents house. I have taken Owen to a couple before, but this one by far blew the other ones out of the water. They had so many different types of trucks that the kids could sit in, drive the steering wheel, honk the horn --- I mean we are taking making little boys and girls dreams come true. And these were the newest, cleanest trucks I have ever seen, even I wanted to check them out. It isn't often you get to get very close to a garbage truck, dump truck, fire engine, massive tow-truck, news truck, bobcat -- pretty much you name it they had it. Owen sat in every truck and didn't want to leave. His favorite was the garbage truck and this little Coast Guard electronic boat! It was so well done and I'm so happy we got to go.

 First truck: Fire truck

 The wheels were bigger then him! 

 I think this was an army rescue truck

 Vroom Vroom 

 Peek-a-boo I see you 

 Little buggy 

 He got a kick out of the news truck 

 He even gave a nice little news report 

 I mean look at this tow truck --- its HUGE 

 Riding in the dump truck 

 So shinny

 Beep beep

 This was the little Coast Guard boat. It was controlled by a remote but had a speaker to make it seem like it was talking and zooming around by itself. The man controlling it did a great job hiding so the kids thought this was the coolest thing ever

 And it blinked, posed for pictures and squirted water, does it get any better?

 Checking out the tracker 

 Forklift time 

 Trying out the jet ski 

 And the Zamboni 

 The bobcat was a little tricky to get in so I helped him out
