My kids are obsessed with trucks. Well not even just trucks. Cars, emergency vehicles, city buses, school buses, you name it, they like it.
It seems that an obsession with vehicles is all the toddler rage these days and my kids are fully on board.
For that reason, touch-a-truck events have become a pretty popular outing for my crew. Tell Bruiser or Sparkles that you will have a fire truck at your shin-dig and they will be there (Although if you throw in an owl and a choo choo train they may just faint!)
Anyways, when Shawna posted today on Facebook about the touch-a-truck event in Glastonbury this weekend, it got me wondering what other vehicle-themed events are taking place in our state in the coming weeks.
Well, it seems that there are quite a few.
So, check out some cute picks of my kiddos in a fire truck (Yes. I’m biased) and then check out my research on the touch-a-truck scene in our state. Oh, and if I missed any (which I’m sure I did), feel free to leave a comment below with all the details!
