There was a cool event in Opelika today, Touch a Truck. Sounds like exactly what it is. The kids get to climb in and play on and touch some cool vehicles. I know that the big boys there were having just as much fun. The coolest thing... it was free. The price of admission was a new car/truck toy for Toys for Tots.
Ian was like a kid in a candy store. He did not know which vehicle to go to first. He would point and off and we would go to fulfill his wish. The scariest thing is that he knows what to do with steering wheels and all the levers on the vehicles. All the horns and sirens didn't scare him either.
Ian saw & sat in the following: a lifeflight helicopter( we got to see it take off as well, way cool), a sheriff's car, a mobile police van ( he started climbing right into the drivers seat), a UPS truck, a mail truck, a school bus, a fire truck, a tractor, a forklift, a concrete truck, police vehicles, ambulance (no negative reaction to that either), a semi truck, a front end loader, military vehicles, and the coolest was the ride in the front end loader and make it go around and extend the bucket ( I think the big boys were a little jealous that they didn't get to ride).
He was having a blast at this event. He was just walking and walking and walking and walking. It was such a blast seeing the smile on his face every time you put him in a truck.
