The city of Gainesville held at Touch-A-Truck event at the county fairgrounds this past Saturday. Imagine a place where young boys (and their fathers) could touch any button, climb in any vehicle, and honk any horn on the vehicles around town. The city gathered trucks, boats, buses, and public service vehicles into one convenient spot and let the kids touch anything. Every mother's dream come true! The first 500 children even received a bicycle hemet and proper fitting for free. Luckily, we went early enough to beat the crowds, heat and the helmet limit. Gavin is obsessed with his helmet never wanting to take it off at home meanwhile Logan freaks out after wearing it for 0.002 seconds. Classic.
Armored SWAT Truck
Recycle Truck
Daddy's School Bus
Backhoe Loader
Life Flight
The only vehicle with touching restrictions as it was on loan from the hospital for one hour of viewing.
Fish and Wildlife Truck and Boat
Big Rig
While Logan and I waited in the helmet line, Sean and Gavin toured the beloved fire truck.
Sean said at one point after climbing in the truck, Gavin exclaimed that is was 'really hot in here Dad.'
Gainesville's making it pretty hard to leave this city!
