Big Machines Day

Saturday was Big Machines Day at the McWane Center so of course we had to go! It was every little boy's biggest dream come true all at one time! Ha! We got a hard hat on arrival (it was actually plastic, but cute!) and I didn't think Hudson would wear it, but he wouldn't take it off.

Here is Hudson hanging out in the fire truck! He was trying to figure out how all those buttons worked!

Driving the fire truck!

By the way, we had to see the fire truck about 50 times. We would go see another big machine and then would always have to go back to the fire truck. He's obsessed.


Here he is in the back seat of the fire truck. I love his big ole eyes looking in amazement at everything around him!


He got in the dump truck too, but immediately took off to the other side and Joel had to go rescue him. Therefore, this was the best picture we could get--from the outside looking in!


I have no idea what big machine this was, but it didn't have a wheel and Hudson wasn't as sure about what to do with it! He just sat there!


We went inside for a little bit and played. That place is a madhouse on Saturdays. Total chaos really. We hit each of the floors (quickly) before heading back outside to see more trucks and machines.

Legos are always a hit.

It was then back outside for another machine! Not sure what this one is either, but it had a wheel and was fun! It had lots of buttons too.


We had to wait in line at each machine so this was us killing some time playing peekaboo with the hard hat. He loved it!


Telling a 2 year old that you have to wait in line doesn't always go very well. He wanted to go straight to the front every time! Oh well.

This was a skidsteer or something like that. Is that what they're called? Joel should have written this post! This stuff is way more up his alley! Again, with no steering wheel, he didn't know what to do!

This last one was in the driver seat of the crane (I know what those are!). He loved this one.


Future crane driver here!


Let's just say that the morning at McWane was worth the trip!



We went home, took naps, and then headed to our church for a Sunday school social at the Lighhouse. Pizza and a gym for the kids to play was just about the best idea we've had yet! It was great watching them all play and we actually got to visit with everyone. Hudson loved the hula hoop (I tried to show him how to do it, but unfortunately, my hula hoop skills aren't up to par--wait, I don't think I could ever hula hoop!).

Is this one happy boy or what? I would thought he would have been exhausted by this point, but he was still going strong.

We had a great Saturday and a great day today as well! We skipped church and went for a walk in this awesome weather, played outside, got our taxes done (woo hoo!) and had a great family day! I'm not looking forward to going back to work tomorrow!
