City Services Fair

It was a cold, rainy, windy day, but it was worth it, because we got to go up in bucket trucks!! They went up 55 feet, which felt very high to me--especially in the wind. It was kind of scary to be waaaay up there in such a little bucket. Fun, though--I've always wanted to go up in a bucket truck! Abe and I liked it, but Sebby really liked it--the moment he got out, he said to Grandma, "Do again? Do again?"

There were also riding lawnmowers that the boys got to sit on--

And Abe got to hold the fire hose and try to knock over a bucket with the spray. ("Was it hard to hold?" I asked him. "No, it wasn't hard at all," he said. So the fireman helping him must have been pretty strong.) :)

Here the boys are at home afterwards, wearing their new hard hats and Sheriff stickers. We also got some other good things, like yo-yos, frisbees, and a tiny backpack/keychain which Abey gave to his bear (Blueberry).
