Trucks and Swimming...Little Boy Style


Oh to be a little boy! This past weekend has been full of fun boy activities. On Saturday we took Cade and is cousins Harrison and Benson to what was called Touch a Truck event. They had at least 50 different types of trucks, cars, a helicopter, fire trucks, police cars, ambulances, army vehicles, tractors and more. It was so much fun! The boys got to crawl inside the trucks and pretend to dive them, beep the horns and see what they looked like. The people were so nice and all took time to explain to the kids how things worked and how they helped people. The kids also had the chance to put on fire gear, spray a fire hose, turn on sirens, and most importantly sample all the goodies from the delivery trucks!


Cade was a little on the overwhelmed side with all the trucks and people but wasn't shy when it came to ice cream or chocolate milk. He also was able to quickly find a big pile of rocks and dirt to play in...not that those things are a novelty in Vegas!


This weekend the little boys also broke out their swimming suits and jumped in the pool. It was so much fun to watch them run around and splash. Cade loves his cousins and wants to do everything that they do. It is sometimes hard for his little almost 2-year-old mind to comprehend that he isn't 4.


He loved to lay on his tummy and put his hands in the water. He wasn't too excited about getting all the way into the water until I had dried him off and got his jammies on...that little boy!! He also wasn't too interested in goggles until the twins put them on but then quickly decided that they were much cooler to look at on the boys than have them on his own face.


It was a good weekend and very entertaining for old and young boys alike. What a joy it is to watch the things that little boys come up with when surrounded by things they love!

What a load of fun this kid has! He's such a stud, I just want to squeeze him! I've asked this before, but how old is he? Is he that much older than Will?

He is 20 months...big enough to not be small and small enough to not be big ;) How old is Will?'[=

You are so lucky to have family so close. I bet that these three are best buds.

Why does Cade seem so old to me? Will is going to be 21 months in a week or so, I believe... basically, he'll be 2 in August. We should be neighbors! ;)

I know...you just need to move to Vegas! :) Cade has a birthday in August too...the 21st...we really should be neighbors!

That means that Will is older than Cade?! He was born Aug. 17! How crazy is that? You know, you could always move out to CA... ;)
