Saturday was Will's second annual Truck Touch at his nursery school. A great time was had by all, and the turn-out for this annual fundraiser was phenomenal. This year featured an ambulance, a fire engine, a mobile home, an active recycling truck, a dump truck, a front-end loader, a bucket truck, a UPS truck, and a pick-up truck.
Like last year, Will was a little reluctant to get into all of the trucks, but he had a few in mind that he really looked forward to getting into. And this year he wasn't afraid to run right up to them, touch them, and point out the things that he knew about them from his books or from playing with Daddy and Pop.
Will and Daddy got right into the front-end loader.
Will threw one item after another into the recycling truck. Every few minutes, they fired it up and smashed all of the paper, glass and plastics. Will probably could have spent the whole morning at this truck.
Mommy, Maggie and Will explored the inside of the UPS truck. Pretty bright in there!
When Will was helped into the cab of the fire engine, he stepped on the siren pedal and it gave a solid wail for a second or two. Will flip-flopped between being scared and proud of himself.
One of the firefighters is the father of one of Will's classmates so Will took even more interest in the fire engine than last year. Will ran right up to him and said "Hi fireman Chris!" Check out how Will has grown.
