The Firetruck

The other day, we decided to take the kids for an ice cream cone. The local garden center up the street from our house has expanded and last year added a petting zoo and an ice cream shop. It's a great way to keep the kids busy while you shop for plants, shrubs, gardening supplies, etc. Well this year, they completely outdid themselves. They bought a fire truck. We had NO idea of this until we arrived (with two little boys wearing fire hats as usual) and Cole and Tommy almost started hyperventilating in the car. "FIRETRUCK!!! MOMMY!!! LOOK!!!! DADDY FIRETRUCK!!!"

Needless to say, this is going to become our newest hangout. The boys spent a good 45 minutes playing on the truck and could not even be lured away with promises of ice cream cones. We *eventually* got hot enough to need a cone. Here are some pictures...
