Trucks and Toddlers a match made in heaven! {Photo Story}

July 18, 2012 By Emily 18 Comments

 

Every Tuesday in July Tivoli Village in Las Vegas is hosting a Truckin’ Tuesdays event from 9-12 where they have several different types of trucks, utility vehicles, and first responders parked on a blocked street for children to explore.  Plus they bring different types of trucks in each week!

My son LOVES trucks.  We talk about trucks daily, all day long.  Dump Trucks, Monster Trucks, Diggers, Cement Mixers, Ambulances, Fire Trucks, you name it, he loves it.

When I heard about this event, I knew our Tuesdays in July would be booked.  Please enjoy this photo story of wonder through a child’s eyes!

He was speechless in the Ambulance.  So many things to look at, so many things to touch.  We have also been talking a lot lately about what an Ambulance’s job is and how they help people.  He was very serious in this truck.

Hmm, I wonder if I try to sneak in and drive away if anyone would notice me?

Learning what all the buttons in the police truck do!

Flying down the ramp of a moving truck! He LOVED running up and down the ramp and being in the back of a big truck!

In front of a big street sweeper!  Life for a little boy is great!

FYI!  If you happen to live in or around Las Vegas make sure you check out Truckin’ Tuesdays before it drives away for the summer.  Also on July 31st  Spread the Word Nevada will be at Tivoli Village holding a book drive for children’s books and Goodie Two Shoes will also be on hand collecting shoes and socks to donate to under privileged children across Southern Nevada.
