Part of what I love about summer break is getting to do all the fun things with Eleanor that I miss out on when I'm working. You know, all those fun programs offered for kids, but only during the day on weekdays. This past Friday our local parks department had a Touch a Truck event at one of the parks. Eleanor loves trucks and frequently says "Truck! Honk honk! Vroom vroom!" when we see one driving down the road. We registered for the program beforehand and paid the $5 to get in. I'm so, so glad we went! Eleanor had a blast! The kids also got plastic hardhats and a little truck to take home with them! Eleanor is in love with her hat and truck, and requests them both frequently. What a fun morning!

| She was a little leery of the trucks at first (perhaps trying to let her climb in a semi as the first vehicle was not a smart move). I put her on my back and she calmed down. We climbed on the firetruck and in a bus. Once she figured out what we were doing, she wanted down so she could explore on her own! |

| Playing in the TumbleBus! (Those of you from Louisville, remember these? Apparently they're original to Louisville and this one has been in Indy since 2002.) |

| Going down the slide on the TumbleBus! (For those of you who aren't familiar with TumbleBus, it's a school bus with all the seats ripped out and different gym equipment like trampolines, monkey bars, tumbling mats, etc.) |
