Big Truck Day

A recent Tuesday was a very special day for William. He and Mommy attended "Big Truck Day" with some of our friends. We caravaned across the river so that all the boys could play on the big trucks. William was the last guy standing. One group had to exit and turn around before we got to the event. Another group couldn't take the waiting in line. Then, there is William. Big Trucks are his life, his world, his raison d'etre. We stayed until the last truck rolled away!

Our first truck of the day... of course, it was the fire truck. William is sitting on the back taking in the moment.

Someone is intently listening to the firefighter explain that the nozzle William is touching is where the truck is connected to the hydrant in order to pump the water into the hose for fighting a fire. (Mommy was listening too!)

"It's true... I am standing in front of my very favorite truck of all time."

William and his friend Frankie sitting on the front bumper. We spent quite a bit of time at the fire truck!

Over to the scoop... whoa, look at this thing... Bob the Builder could really use this!

OH my gosh... a school bus... "stop for the children," William said. We were able to go on board, sit in the driver's seat, honk the horn, and then sit in the student seats. A glory moment for one little boy!

Whoa, big digger! William loved running in the bucket!!

I need a break... this looks like a good place to rest for a moment.

William could hardly wait to drive the tractor. He laughed and said, "tractor tipping." If you saw Disney's Cars movie you'll understand!

Dad, I think I need a motorcycle. Cop said I was a natural...

We ventured back to the.... fire truck... you guessed it!!

"Can you believe I am sitting in a real fire truck???"

He is just taking in the moment!!

We spent a brief moment running through the mail truck before heading over to watch the parade!


A tired truck admirer watching the trucks roll by... "bye fire truck, bye digger, bye snow plow."

An interesting bit of trivia: The one truck that William did not want to explore... an ambulance. Go figure!


A day in little boy heaven!!
