Big Truck Day II

When we moved to Portland we discovered they had a great Parks & Rec Department. They always had free things going on and a lot of what we did we found through them. Never in a million years did I think we'd find somewhere as family friendly as there, that is until we moved to Michigan.

We went to something similar when Connor was about 1.5 and he thoroughly enjoyed looking at all of the big trucks and their lights and sounds. It's a free event where businesses and the city services get together and allow the kids to explore the vehicles up close and personal. We found one here about 25 minutes from Detroit, and Connor had just as much fun this time as he did last time. This one had a bouncy house and a few more vehicles, and we even ran into some new friends, Tiffany, Marc & Colin. The boys had a ton of fun, despite how loud it was there! Not to pat myself on the back, or gloat or anything. But. I am the Best. Mom. Ever!

On our way!
