A weekend of family

We’re having a fun-filled weekend with
family and food. Fun and yum! Here are a few pics, although I’m
realizing that my camera is always trained on the kids and I
didn’t get ANY pics of our long distance family :(

Carl and Deb quickly learned the way to Lex’s heart
– balloons!! He was one happy kid!!

Eve, hepped
up on brownies and ice cream. They played hard and slept
hard!

This morning we went to Touch-A-Truck, an event
where a bunch of trucks park in the lot and let kids climb
around. We’ve missed it the past few years, but I was
determined to get there this year. I was expecting a few dump
trucks and diggers, so we were all pleasantly surprised to see
such a wide variety of trucks. There was a fire truck,
ambulance, police vehicles, a city bus, cement trucks, a postal
truck, a snow maker, a street sweeper, a FedEx truck, an oil
truck, and lots more. It was a great mix and the kids had a
blast. I even got to chat with friends for a few minutes while
others followed my kids around :)

Eve liked the ambulance and activated every button
and switch she could find. I got a kick out of the checklist
posted on the dash, which included “Chockblocks – stowed;
Seatbelts – secured; Narcotics – onboard; etc.” I should have
taken a picture :)

A laptop in a car?!? They went right for it!! I
thought the policeman was very brave to leave it there and
open! (turned off, of course)

Eve driving the police car. I think it was the K-9
truck. Lex is in the back, very happily.

We ended with lunch on the lake. We always enjoy
that!
