Touch a Truck/Making Hats

Edmond has a thing called "Touch A Truck" that is free but donations are taken for the food bank.  Anyhow, Jarett and Macy thoroughly enjoyed this event with their daddy.  Apparently it was loud, as there were lots of horns blowing and sirens going, but Jarett finally got used to it.

Recently, Jarett has been telling us he wants to be a motorcycle man when he grows up.  (I am not a fan of this).  He also will say, "motorcycle, dangerous!" anytime we see a motorcycle while driving--where do you think he picked this up?

The kids got hard hats from Edmond Electric.  Macy is "driving" an army truck.

They got to sit in ~15 trucks and would have enjoyed staying longer and seeing more trucks.  I bet we do this again next year!

After Touch-A-Truck  we met at my mom's house for lunch with with the family.  It felt like a holiday, as my brother and his family were there, along with my grandad and Janis and my grandma.  What a blessing to get to enjoy being with family.

Robin had leftover hats from a birthday party that the kids could make hats for themselves and others.  Macy and Raevan each made princess crowns and decorated them with stickers and jewels.

Raevan made Case a jester hat.  I love that boy's smile!

Jarett made Case a matching crown.

Case in his crown.  Case is so sweet.  He never tries to take things off his head.  I need to be persistent about keeping hats on his head so he doesn't begin to dislike them.

That truck event looks like a lot of fun. I love the pictures of the kids in their hats, especially the ones of Case. He is such a smily boy--so sweet!
