Touch a truck

Saturday morning our county fairgrounds hosted Touch a Truck (aka little boy heaven). Grayson was so excited by all of the oversized vehicles, he didn't know where to begin.


 Gray the helicopter pilot. So serious!


 Next, he got to explore the ladder truck of the Norman Fire Dept. This one is actually from Uncle Levi's station, but he wasn't working that day. Gray got to sit in the captain's chair.

Then, he and Holten checked out where Uncle Levi would sit with the rest of the guys in the back. 

Next, he got to meet the driver of the ladder truck and check out the huge steering wheel and all the buttons. 

He explored every inch of the truck and particularly loved all the gauges and nozzle hook ups.

Then we went inside one of the city's public transit trolleys. Even though it doesn't run on a track, I love how they made it look like an old trolley with wooden seats inside.

 Gray also really loved this vehicle for two reasons...the enormous steering wheel and the fact that there was a "cranky crane" on the back of it. 


 We also went in a refrigerated ice cream/milk truck. This was the Braum's cow mascot he met while we were waiting in line.


A big muddy tractor was our next stop.  

Here's Holten driving the same tractor. 

Then the boys double teamed the UPS truck. This is another one of Grayson's favorite vehicles. He gets excited when we pass them on the road and loves it even more when one stops at our house. 

 Exploring the back of the UPS truck

There were lots of different police cars there too. The OU PD, Norman PD, County Sheriff trucks and the State Highway Patrol. Gray got to turn on their sirens and talk over the loud speakers.  

Then he arrested Holten. 

And, of course, Holt got to drive Gray to jail too. Fingers crossed this is the only time he'll ever see the back of a police car.
