Firetrucks: A Mommy Post

I have a classic 2.5 year old boy. He loves firetrucks. And diggers. And trains. You get the picture.  We have had a handful of surprising/unexpected weekends off for me so we have been trying to cram in as much awesome family time as we can before I head into a crazy-busy and exciting fall.  Last weekend we went to a firetruck parade and "festival" downtown.  It was a big parade but a small crowd on a foggy, rainy morning.  It was just perfect!

 After refusing earplugs and dodging raindrops, the boys watched from inside Union Station.
