Touch a Truck

Every year the park district puts on an event called Touch a Truck. This year it was nice and cool with a beautiful breeze. Lexi and Jacob had a blast. I've learned this is not a fun place for a child in a stroller, so Cora stayed home, played catch with Grandma and took a nap with Grandpa.










We stopped by the race car first. Only a promised trip for a ice cream from cold stone got Jacob out of the car. Yummy, they were handing out free scoops. He even got to have sprinkles on his ice cream. Jacob has this obsession with a recipe that he has made up. For three months he has been telling me that he has a great recipe idea. "First you take a tomato, then cut off the top, then get out all the seeds, then fill it with sour cream, then put colored sprinkles on top." Yikes....I think I will end up letting him try it, just so I don't have to hear about it a few times a week for eternity. But what if he thinks it is good?!


Then it was on to the Monster Truck. The truck was so tall that Jacob could stand under it.
He loved the motorcycles. He had to sit in the front, back, and sidecar of this one. In a very authoritative manner told Lexi that the sidecar was supposed to be a rocket!



After blowing several air horns, seeing how truck drivers sleep in the back of a truck, and visiting the SWAT vehicle, we called it a day.
