Things That Go Rodeo

Over the weekend we took Owen to an event sponsored by the Carmel Public Library. Basically they bring in all kinds of "Things that Go" and let the kiddos explore them. So examples of the things there are an ambulance, fire truck, school bus, police car, front loader, garbage truck (being the germ freak I am, I didn't let Owen touch or sit in the garbage truck-it smelled like it came straight from the landfill), tractor, tow truck, etc. Pretty cool for a kid!

Who would want to SIT in the fire truck when you could CLIMB on it?! 

Rockin his new fireman hat. Stay tuned for a picture of him in his new fireman jammies ;)

Not sure who was more impressed by the John Deere-Owen or Daddy!

Owen's reaction when Daddy said we'd have to get one of these some day!

Can't remember exactly what this was, but pretty sure it was an old steam fire engine. 

Mike made sure to tell Owen that the cool kids always sit in the back of the bus...

Owen and Mommy in the front loader. 

And this is where all the magic happened. The Bubble Truck...Sound creepy? Yes. Imagine the creepiest ice cream truck driver and multiply that by 10. This is how creepy the Bubble Truck Driver was. I'm going to go ahead and hope the powers at be did their research on this guy and he wasn't a pedophile. Let me tell you, this truck was the BIGGEST hit of all! Bubbles all over the place, and my 15 month old insisted on being in the middle of it all. 

Dipping his hands in the bucket full of bubbles. 

This is an action shot of Owen swinging a fly swatter full of bubbles through the air. At one point he swatted a little girl (unintentionally). He fell on the pavement three times because his shoes were so slicked up with bubble mix and the kicker was when we looked over and he had fallen in to the bucket...At this point we knew it was time to head home. Yes, we were THOSE people carrying their screaming child out of the rodeo! Sigh. Nonetheless, it was a fun Saturday morning activity and Owen certainly loved it :)
