touch a truck

we try every saturday to have "family fun day". because i work during the week, we rarely do activities so i try to make saturdays all about the kids. today we went to the annual "touch a truck" at the orleans. the kids get to sit inside different vehicles and honk their horns. there are so many different things to see, that we couldn't even do them all. they got to go in a race car, police car, fire truck, a humvee, bomb squad response vehicle, a city bus, a hot air balloon, and a few others. Christine (our nanny for 2 years and i call her my wife) came with us. we had a lot of fun there and then we took the kids to chili's for lunch. 

johnny was in heaven with all the big trucks. he told us on the way there that he was "so excited that he felt like he could cry". how cute!!

we got to go inside of a hot-air balloon, but kate

 was scared that fire was going to get us so we left quickinside the SWAT truck

the firetruck was so fun. the firemen were really nice and let me put a hat on. it was very heavy!

johnny looks like he really knows what he's doing lol
