Drivin' the big rigs

James and Marcus in the steam roller
We took the boys to the "Touch A Truck" event at the Friday Center in Chapel Hill. This was a wonderful afternoon's entertainment sponsored by a local boy scout troop. There were all kinds of vehicles that the kids could climb into. James is obsessed with fire trucks and there were 3 or 4 varieties there. There were lots of rescue vehicles and police cars, tow trucks, dump trucks, city and school buses, a helicopter, garbage trucks, a bunch of construction equipment--steam roller, excavator, cement truck, bulldozer, semi tractor trailers, and a police motorcycle (which kind of scared the boys). It was rather menacing looking up close. Jon and Lila's boys went earlier in the day, so we missed them. I'm sure the other set of grandboys were equally impressed. Little boys sure do love big trucks. The weather couldn't have been better. We stopped at Weaver Street for a quick bite on the way home. Truly a lovely day...although my back is absolutely killing me right now. Time to dose up with the tylenol and go lay down for awhile. Ugh...gotta work tomorrow.
