Wow, it's so busy around here! But I wanted to get caught up on some pictures so that tomorrow I can post about Kate's birthday.
We had such a low-key couple of days last weekend. It rained a lot so we stuck at home and played together as a family. On Saturday morning, though, it was clear for a couple of hours so that we could go to Touch-a-Truck. It was held in Salem at one of our parks, and it was...FREE! Every kind of truck and vehicle you can imagine was on display and available for kids to get in and test out.

At the firetrucks, they passed out hats and lollipops.

They also had an massive area of just bubbles. Bubbles everywhere. Kids were going crazy for the bubbles...getting lost in them. Vivian was cautious.

But she did want to play with them.

Of course we had to stop by the tractor. Vivian loves tractors. Papa has one, and our neighbor has one that we see him using almost everyday in his garden.

Daddy helps her up in the truck's cab and shows her the ropes.

We didn't want to wait in line for her to sit in the front of the helicopter, but she was able to sit in the back of it just for a picture.The helicopter landing was a huge hit with all the kids!

Kate and I watching it land. (we were waiting for Vivian to get there...she had gone to breakfast and the duck pond with Papa that morning)

Hmmm...our girls might have a tomboy side to them when they get older.

Touch-a-Truck was awesome!! What a great idea for a family day. Aaron was in heaven..I could tell he was trying hard not to show his boyish excitement about all the big trucks and equipment, so you can imagine how thrilling it probably was for all the little boys there!
