Truck Touch

Last weekend I decided to take the kids to the Truck Touch in Fairbanks. It was a fairly warm and sunny day.

Liberty was about ready for a nap. She made it through most of the time, but passed out before we were through.


The kids met Officer B. Safe. This was kind of a neat thing. It was an air-conditioned balloon with a man inside. He could walk around and wave and shake hands and things like that. They LOVED him.


They also really like this police robot. There was a man inside a truck controlling the robot. He kept taking their construction hats and then driving around with them and bringing them back to the kids. Glade thought it was so great he kept following the robot around and holding his hat out to him. So fun!


Another of Glade's favorite things! What little boy doesn't like this?


This was the most interesting thing there (to me anyway). They called it a train, and it kind of looks like one. It was from WW I. They said transportation was a problem at that time. This vehicle held 40 soldiers and 8 horses. (You can see those numbers on the side of it.) It was from France, hence the words on the side. Kind of an interesting vehicle.


A helicopter was fun to climb into and try out. They made sure to buckle up!


There were a couple of little race cars. The kids both enjoyed those.


It was such a fun day. There were lots of other things: old tractors, construction equipment. old cars, an airplane, a city bus, an ambulance, and more I'm forgetting, I'm sure. The kids had a good time and especially enjoyed the popcorn and snow cones we enjoyed!

So fun! I loved the video of Glade - you can tell he really did love that! Anything that makes noises is a hit!
