Touch A Truck Event

As I mentioned in a previous post, on Sunday morning, Opa, Nana and Edward took The Ducklings to the Touch a Truck event.

It was a bit of a zoo, and it's hard to tell if the kids enjoyed all elements of it - certainly, the crowds were a little off-putting for them, and the heat made the line-ups a challenge - but Edward thought it was enough of a hit to go again next year.  Colin and Keith were enthralled by the various vehicles they could climb into - an ambulance, motorcycles, garbage trucks (a perennial Keith favourite), etc.  There was a large tortoise ambling around, and I've heard a great deal about Colin "high-fiving" some sort of costumed creature (a gorilla? Chewbacca? Barney?).  Keith refused, but as he told Nana and me this afternoon, "I didn't high-five the gorilla.  But that's okay.  It happens".  And Evelyn... well.... it wasn't really her thing.

Edward did get her to smile for the camera.  In a way:


Nana had Keith for the morning:


Evelyn looking a little more jovial, although a little concerned about sharing the space:



Oh, and to add:  all three of them came home dry :)
