Awesome Trucks Day



Last Sunday was Awesome Trucks Day (yes, with Capital Letters!) at Topeekeegee Yugnee Park. So we had to go, out of curiosity and to verify the awesomeness.

My son got to verify that for himself.



There were, I don't know, 30 trucks of all kinds for kids to ogle and climb on. Bigger kids even waited in line for a ride in this:



Or to operate a front-end loader. With some help, of course.

Smaller kids scrambled up onto these:



But I am still wondering why one of them had a hood ornament:



A giant fire truck with a huge ladder was the biggest hit:





But the Man-cub was happy sitting in a street sweeper all the same.



The simple joys of childhood . . . .

Awesome trucks! But the most impressive thing I saw was people in shorts. I'll trade you some snow.

Oh ha ha ha ha! The comment about the street sweeper is hysterical. They get so much entertainment out of the simplest things at this age, don't they? Too cute!!

Awesome stuff, when you're a kid. Speaking of awesome stuff, the Godiva Chocolate Covered Cashews were absolutely delicious. I hope you don't mind I mentioned your gift, your profile and your blog in my post for Monday. Thank you, Holly, so much.
