Touch-a-truck- Henry.

Mama packed up Junie and I so we could go to a Touch-a Truck event in Greenville.
We got there just in time to see a helicopter land on the baseball field!
We had a great time climbing in and out of all of the trucks.
June thought she was pretty big stuff.
I was made they didn't let us drive any of the equipment.
I'm pretty sure I would have been awesome at this excavator.
Mama's favorite part was this little robot with two cameras that they drove into storm drains to check for blockages or cracks.
They did let us pull the levers to move the arms that dump the bins on the garbage truck.
Maybe the best part was going on the refrigerated truck and getting ice cream sandwiches!
I got to pose with a helicopter pilot. He told me that you only have to tie down one blade a helicopter because all of the rotors are connected.
Across the street from Touch-A-Truck was an awesome playground. Even if it was crowded, we had a ton of fun playing. June went down this 15 foot tall twisty slide about 50 times. Mama was happy because she heard June say "Excuse me" and "Please" to some rowdy kids that normally June may not have been so polite to.
June is really too cute for her own good.
We were so pumped when it was actually cool enough to wear sweatshirts. Of course, that didn't last more than an hour. But I refused to take mine off. Or to take down the hood.

On our way home, mama took us to CiCi's pizza, one of the best pizza buffets ever- mostly because they have a bunch of dessert pizzas (and it's crazy cheap to take kids!). On Sunday, papa was asking June if her ankle hurt. June replied "No, but mama's belly hurts." She then explained, "At the pizza store, mama ate so much pizza and she said 'All right, my belly's starting to hurt.' " Mama said, no one has ever really understood her the way June does.
