Touch a Truck

Yep, that is what we did today, touched trucks. We went to an event called Touch a Truck in Huntersville, NC. It was a fundraiser for Addi's Cure.

Here is Declan in a grader. He enjoyed looking at all of the trucks but some we had to move away from quickly. Kids like to honk the horns and that scared him! As well, some of the drivers would start the trucks up and he thought for sure they were going to run us over.

I know, not a truck but he thought it was cool to drive the boat.

In the fire truck, one of his favorites of course. This was interrupted by.....

The helicopter that was there taking off. Pretty cool to watch.

I finally persuaded him to have his picture taken at least sitting near the ambulance. Whenever we see Rich with his ambulance, he won't go near it. Loves to talk about it and pretend but don't make him sit in it, have the lights or sirens on.

Trip to Southern California

Della and John had a terrific week in Southern California (Sep 15 to 22). Our favorite family members, Fran, Merle and Jeff Gerhardt made us more than comfortable and provided many wonderful eating events which which they are famous. We visited with our young friends, Alanna and Eric Hoyer who we have known since their births and Eric's wife Susan. The 5 Hoyer dogs provided much entertainment. One highlight of the trip was our attendance at Lynwood High School, Class of 1959's 50th Year Reunion. It was a blast to see friends from long ago. It was held at the Long Beach Marriott Hotel 18 and 19 September.
