This is the 3rd time we've been to one of these events and Drew always loves them. I wonder how long seeing a police car or fire truck in person will be cool? Oh, and shocker, the kid wasn't going to be happy until he sat in a dump truck. Forget the boats and SWAT vehicles, let's go straight for the dirtiest piece there. #boys
This year there were two helicopters that landed in a nearby field and I had no clue how crazy loud and windy those things were! Thankfully, Ady slept right through both of their landings so that Drew could get an up close look at them.
Here are pictures from this year as well as the two previous visits, all on the front of firetrucks. Ady didn't make the picture, but the extra weight on me from her sure did. Ugh.
Such fun! Those helicopter landings are impressive. That's one thing that we've never seen up close. Trenton is 5 1/2 and still gets excited about big trucks, tractors, combines, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like a super fun activity! Helicopters and big trucks - I think that's a toddler heaven. I will have to keep an eye out for an event like this because I think Callie would love it. Mostly because she could climb but she does like trucks in general :)
ReplyDeleteI loooove the pic of Drew running with Derek behind him. So cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat event! I wish they had something like that in our area! My little man is ALLL boy also and would love it!!
ReplyDeleteThat is one big helicopter!! We need to check out one of these events soon. There was one a few weeks ago, but I would have had to take both kids alone and I wasn't so sure I was up for that. :)
ReplyDeleteSo fun! I have no doubt this would be a huge hit with M as well. I need to find an event like this!
ReplyDelete(And girl, you look fabulous.)
Okay this is the coolest event! I know my guy would love it.
ReplyDeletehahah of course, dirty is the best! Aria is newly obsessed with trucks. I opened her window so she could see the cars and trucks going by this morning when she didn't feel like getting out of her crib yet and she was in heaven. I think she'd love something like this. I remember a helicopter came to our school when I was little...vaguely. SO fun.
ReplyDeleteWe took Hunter to his first Touch a Truck event this past weekend and he LOVED it. Totally a little boys heaven.
ReplyDeleteStop it about the weight - you look great! :)
ReplyDeleteYou look wonderful! What a great event for little boys (and girls!)- it looks like he had a blast!
ReplyDeleteYou know what I love about you? First, you do look great for having a itty bitty. (I'm STILL carrying most of Alex's baby weight - whoops) But even though you do have a few extra lbs on, you still got the picture with Drew. And you look happy, beautiful and that picture will be something Drew will love seeing some day.
ReplyDeleteYou rock, beautiful lady!
I love how excited Drew looks! That running shot is awesome.
ReplyDeleteSo sweet!! My husband can't wait to do this with our son. He talks about it all the time. I'm not sure who will have more fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool event! My boys would LOVE it! And you look awesome! I still sort of look pregnant and Alden is almost a year old. :/
ReplyDeleteThis looks like so much fun! I love the pictures of each year- what a great tradition!
ReplyDeleteAww so cute! I was a tomboy growing up and always loved going to the fire department.
