Today, we visited the annual "Touch a Truck" event. We went last year and Jake loved it, but this year was even better!!! Last year, I was pregnant with Michael and didn't feel well. I was hot, irritable, and didn't feel like walking around. My stomach hurt and well, let's just say that a porta-potty wasn't cuttin' it. I know, TMI.

This year was a million times better. The weather was absolutely beautiful- 72 degrees, a light breeze, and heck... I WASN'T PREGNANT AND MISERABLE!! Ha ha! ;-)

Michael had fun, too, people watching (except when the garbage truck's horn blew and scared the pants off of him!!!) Heck, I was scared, too!

We got to see such a variety of big trucks.... ambulances, garbage trucks, buses, police cars, milk trucks, hot air balloons (not a truck, but whatever... LOL), and the most important... the fire engine!!! Jake was ecstatic!! We stood in line so that he could spray the big fire hose, but he chickened out once we got up to the hose. He gets so darn shy! Maybe next year...

We got there early, because we knew the crowds would pour in the later it got in the day. It was truly, another wonderful family outing. I have to say, I'm addicted to making happy family memories. It makes my heart smile.

We had a relaxing Saturday night. Chris worked in the yard and my mom came over to eat dinner. We chatted, caught up on life, and just hung out. What a nice night. The house is almost clean.. just a few more loads of laundry to do tomorrow. Jake and I have to also make our weekly trip to the library. We have so much fun getting books.

Lots of love...
