the firetruck show. . .

Took the boys to Westmoreland Mall last night to see the fire trucks. I guess they have this show every year. But, this is the first year I wrote down the date and made sure we went.




Wow! As we pulled into the parking lot, the ladder trucks climbed high into the darkening sky. The day was growing more quiet. . . but here, the lights were bright and flashing. . . and little boy eyes sparkled, mouths O'ed in delight. . .



We wandered, gypsies in this land full of boy dreams. . . hot dogs and popcorn. . . balloons. . . hats and stickers and treasures. . . all clenched tight in their fists. . . so quiet. . . taking in the grandeur. . .




Trucks. . . A boat. . . Police cars. . . Tools and hoses. . .

And, joy! Lukey found signs. . .

Feeling so small in this magical world. . .
