<\/a> <\/div>\nThis morning we went to Touch-A-Truck, an event
\n where a bunch of trucks park in the lot and let kids climb
\n around. We’ve missed it the past few years, but I was
\n determined to get there this year. I was expecting a few dump
\n trucks and diggers, so we were all pleasantly surprised to see
\n such a wide variety of trucks. There was a fire truck,
\n ambulance, police vehicles, a city bus, cement trucks, a postal
\n truck, a snow maker, a street sweeper, a FedEx truck, an oil
\n truck, and lots more. It was a great mix and the kids had a
\n blast. I even got to chat with friends for a few minutes while
\n others followed my kids around :) <\/span><\/div>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6129-790390.JPG\")

<\/a> <\/div>\nEve liked the ambulance and activated every button
\n and switch she could find. I got a kick out of the checklist
\n posted on the dash, which included “Chockblocks – stowed;
\n Seatbelts – secured; Narcotics – onboard; etc.” I should have
\n taken a picture :)<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/uploaded_images\/IMG_6132-758826.JPG\")
