Touch a Truck and Thirsty for Trouble

Last week we went to a fun event at the Chaska Community Center called "Touch a Truck". They had all kinds of trucks for kids to climb on and "drive" including a police car, a Zamboni, and a fire truck, to name a few. They also had free ice cream, hot dogs, carnival games, and music. It down-poured that night so a few of the trucks did not stick around for long, but Elijah was non-the-wiser. He had so much fun climbing in and out of them and pretending to drive.

Jon's favorite moment was when Elijah was sitting in the forklift and pushed the garage door button that they had left in there. The big, giant arena garage door started closing (with a vehicle in the way) until a man ran over to push the button on the wall to stop it! Oops!

"Excuse me sir, do you know how fast you were going?"
While taking this picture Elijah accidentally "layed on the horn". Oops again!

Elijah also had fun running around like a crazy-man with his friend Caleb I was able to snag this shot of the two of them after the 80th attempt (okay maybe the 6th!). We finally were able to get them to sit down!

In other news, this just in:
"Amazing Baby makes Dishes Magically Disappear"

or alternately titled:
"Boy, These Doors Sure are Strong!"

or maybe:
"Is this a baby shower?"

"Is this the way to Narnia?"

but most likely:
"So the dishes fairy does exist!!!"
(do you all have a dishes fairy? She always forgets to stop at my house)
