A nearby county parks & rec group held a "Touch a Truck" event where local emergency responders, contractors and companies brought in their large transportation-related equipment for kids to climb all over. We invited a friend from church to come along and explore them with Amelia.
We eased into the event with the tractors.
All the vehicles where kids could get in the driver's seat were close together; all of their horns were being honked incessantly the entire time we were there. So Amelia spent a lot of time with her ears covered.
They had some fun interactive events - in this one, you were able to use the firetruck hose to spray down "windows" and "doors" in the wooden cutout. The line was super long though so we decided to pass.

Amelia did have a freak out moment when she went to get into the rescue boat. So we convinced her to stand on the side, holding my hand instead of climbing into the seat.

My parents never let me in the driver's seat; what am I supposed to do?
Amelia reminded us that Mia "turned the radio on".

There was a train! And we took turns standing in the very long line to ride it.
Austin liked the train vibrations so much that he fell asleep after eating.

Such a fun event! We'll be sure to look for it again next year!
