Trucks, trucks, trucks

Yesterday afternoon, some friends of ours stopped by to play. It was just a spur of the moment thing. My friend, Rebecca, was telling me about a fundraiser that they were going to go to this morning. It was just a few dollars entry fee and then kids can go check out and sit in a bunch of different trucks. It sounded like something that Cason would like but I wasn't too sure that we would end up going. Kelly left town this morning and I wasn't too keen on the idea of taking two kids to something like that myself. I routinely take both boys to stores to run errands, to play dates, and to church. But a public event like that where Cason can run around? No thank you.

This morning I woke up and started to reconsider. The weather was so nice out and it was only a few dollars. Plus, Cason is now getting to the age where he actually enjoys this sort of thing. So I called my friend up and told them that I would meet them there. I got Cason sunscreened up and made sure Bryce had napped and was fed. There were all sorts of trucks there. Mostly different kind of construction trucks, but there was also a fire truck, a police car, some semis, and even a bus that was converted into a traveling gymnastics vehicle. Cason ended up loving it. We only stayed an hour because it was lunch time and it was starting to get hot. But I got a bunch of cute pictures.

Cason loves sitting in cars pretending to drive them and I never let him do that. I've read too many stories where kids do this and somehow run over a sibling. Anyway, he loved sitting in each and every truck and kept asking me to turn them on.

So I cut off the side of the car that shows that this is a police car. But it actually is a police car.



In the bulldozer. Is that the right word? I'm so bad with construction names. I need a book or something to help me learn them.





Here he is climbing up the side of the bulldozer. I have no idea if this is a photography no no but I like how these pictures turned out with the sun streaming down. This was not intentional. This was the result of me trying to take a picture while staying close to Cason so he wouldn't fall off and staying close to Bryce in the stroller so I could make sure no one would walk off with him. I was barely even looking at the screen of the camera.







Here is a red pickup truck. But apparently, it's not just a red pickup truck. It's the actual truck that Bella drove in the movie Twilight. We walked up to the truck and the door was open so I put Cason in. I took a few pictures when a woman came up right beside me. I said "are you guys waiting to sit in it?" To which she replied "yes, they're waiting, they have to pay to sit in this one". Oops. I apologized and quickly took Cason out of the truck. The woman was very nice though.





Um, this was a big truck but I have no clue what it was. A flatbed? I think the crane was sitting on it.





Cason loved this bobcat.



The crane. Cason was going to go sit up in the seat until he realized that I had to stay on the ground with Bryce.
