Touch A Truck Day

Yesterday was "Touch a Truck Day" at the Ann Arbor Mall. From the hours of 9-11 children from all over town gathered to "ooh" and "aah" and drool (really, some of them were drooling) over trucks that they had probably only previously seen in miniature or from a "safe" distance. Kids that were patient enough to stand in line for more than 10 minutes had the additional opportunity to SIT IN THE DRIVER'S SEAT!! They had unlimited access to the buttons and dials and levers that abound in all heavy machinery. Among the main attractions were a dump truck, a tractor, a bus, a garbage truck, and a semi-truck. Rowan and Abby were in heaven (Rowan perhaps a bit more so than Abby).

"Hey, what's that button do?"

It kind of looks like two innocent children are about to be run down by an evil tractor...

Cutest truck driver I've ever seen!

Looks like lots of fun! I've never sat behind the wheel of a dump truck--I'm a little jealous, to be completely honest!
