Touch-a-Truck

What came to your mind when you read Touch-a-Truck? Boy heaven!? That is just what it was. I cannot get over the fact that someone actually had the idea to get tons of massive vehicles in one place and let kids jump in the driver's seat and honk the horns. It was loud, but there were smiles and giggles galore! And the weather was gorgeous. We could not have asked for a better evening!

Our friend Jackson started with us, but he couldn't handle the loudness. I felt bad for him bc he LOVES diggers.

 Sitting in the scoop. Jackson covering his ears, Ben with his hand-made sun visor and Nate complaining it was hot (don't worry, it wasn't). 

 Driving a digger.

 Checking out some kind of old fire truck.

 The biggest dump truck ever. Multi-million dollar for sure! It really was larger than life.

And they got to climb up into it.

And drive it. Wow! See all three of my boys? The operator of it asked Ben to do him a special favor - honk the horn. Boy, did he!

 And they got to steer a real fire truck!

 Future fireman?

 My favorite - a military armored car. There was a guy in the back to chat with, a body shield and body armor. It was crazy cool!

 A crane truck. The boys actually got to hold onto the crane and they raised it up a bit where their feet were off the ground. 

 A sewer truck. They cleaned it up real nice for this. 

To keep the outdoor fun going, we went to a free outdoor event at Cabela's and the boys had a blast. Who knew?

Ben shooting a pellet gun. It took two fingers, but he finally pulled the trigger.

 Daddy had to help Nate, but don't think Nate wanted to give up his turn. He took his shots.

 Shooting a bow and arrow. The guys working it were trying so hard to get the boys to hit the target. The boys didn't seem to care either way!

 Nate finally hit one! With great assistance of course. So proud!

 And they had some cool animals. They are petting a Honey Badger.
