Vehicle Day!!

The Atkinson's clued us in on ECFE Vehicle Day in Minneapolis a few weeks ago and we put it on our calendar as we knew it'd be something James would enjoy.  The basic premise of the day is to let the kids explore community vehicles and talk to the workers that operate them.  Besides the yucky weather that morning that we had to contend with the kids had a blast!

Elliot and James conferring where they'd like to head to next.  "City bus, then fire truck ... or fire truck then city bus?"

James was initially scared of the police car due to the sirens but then warmed up to it and walked right over to check it out.

Another ride on the city bus.  James walked right on like he's done this before.

The kids had a great time and we had fun watching them explore things and learn what they were interested in.  James continued to talk about buses and fire trucks all week so we're thinking Vehicle Day was a success!
