Adventures of The Bean: Touch a Truck Part 1

I heard about an awesome event called Touch a Truck. Its an event where lots of cool large trucks are parked at the kids get to look at them, touch them, and sit in the driver's seat. We figured there would be large crowds, but the thrill factor for the Bean would be worth it, so we set out. All the nearby parking was full, so we parked in the far away lot. The benefit to this, is that we got to ride on a cool trolley to the event.

As we figured, it was packed with kids. We arrived kinda in the middle of the event. Next year, assuming the Bean is still on his late schedule, we will show up later! With two of us, one of us could wait in the very long line to sit in something cool, and the other could wander with the Bean and check out other stuff. He is obsessed with garbage trucks when they come to get our garbage, so we started there. We didn't make it through all the vehicles, there were just to many and the lines were to long, but he had an awesome time. He got to sit in a garbage truck, a bus, a police car, meet a K-9 dog, a police horse, sit in a dump truck, and some other stuff. And ride a trolley both ways to the parking lot! We left about an hour before it ended and it was really emptying out. We learned the tricks for next year though!
