We had heard about an event today being hosted by a preschool in the parking lot of a church. It was called “Transportation Day”. They’ve held this event annually for the last 14yrs, which should have been a clue to its success and popularity. I was not prepared for the 2 mile stretch of road with cars parked tight on both sides before the event even opened! It was PACKED.

It was a totally free event, with raffle ticket sales, food vendors, bouncy houses, and other paid elective items. But the main draw was the 40+ vehicles of all kinds that kids could explore freely.

The boys were packed for the walk from the car

First stop, back hoe!!

Trevor is climbing up in to a big white garbage truck. (It was a VERY clean garbage truck too)

As I type this, Trevor is sitting next to me saying that he needs to go back to the truck park to drive the garbage truck again.

Brendan loved it too, they both were mad when we had to move to let other kids have a turn.

The filling of the balloon was loud and made the boys a little nervous, but it was cool to see up close

They explored army trucks

UPS delivery truck!

Brendan is wondering where the boxes are. Trevor is telling me “no packages! delivery truck empty!”

Trevor was nice to the officer and said “hi” and gave a high five. Brendan wanted no part of it.

So only Trevor got to ride the police motorcycle

The boys got to climb in to a lift basket, Trevor immediately spotted the bucket of candy and picked out a lollipop

Cool helicopter!

I had no idea this event would be so cool. There was even a mini air-show

Last stop – big grader

Bill had to climb up in the grader to get the boys down, they wanted to stay and play

This place had a bake sale, live performers of music and kids’ dance troops. Apart from the crowds, it was a really cool morning. It was an awesome opportunity for truck loving kids. I think they had a good time!

There was nothing unusual about today, just two adorable boys doing their own thing.

Who needs an expensive water table, when $2 in IKEA cups and a kitchen sink works so well?

Whatever he was concocting, he was very serious and careful about it.

We found this really cool “take-apart roadster” toy and Trevor LOVED it. It was a perfect toy for playtime with Daddy.

Onesie production is in full swing, so much for eating at the table for a while!

Brendan is gassing up his lawnmower

Just giving it a tune up

Let’s get this thing started

Brendan and I were playing a very silly game. I was trying to smooch him and take a picture at the same time and he thought it was hilarious.

Oops, looks like we are going to need a bigger sand box

If everything goes according to plan tomorrow, we will have a big fun blog. We are hoping for a cool family outing first thing in the morning!

I was too busy today to worry about pictures. Trevor and I ran errands all morning.

I have moved in to mass production of onesies for Brendan. While the boys napped, I got parts cut and ironed to make ten more. The sewing part takes a long time, so I hope to finish them over the next few weeks.

Brendan is wearing a new brown one that makes him look like a little UPS driver, but you can’t tell in the dark.
