Ne-naws!

Saturday morning Veronica forwarded us an email about two childrens' festivals that day. One was big and had all kinds of vendors and activities, but the other one at the local library promised fire trucks. Our decision was easy!

Chase was a little overwhelmed at first. He LOVES ne-naws, but he's only played with his toy ones or seen the real ones screaming down the road. These were the real live things. Not only were we close, but they were big.

Daddy went on the trucks with him and Chase gradually warmed up. He was shy around the firemen, but I'm not sure he understands their role-- his toy fire truck is staffed by all of his Little People, some of whom are dressed for Hawaii (they are from his airplane).

 In addition to Chase's excitement, Mommy clearly fell into the paparazzi role...

 Chase was especially excited about the ne-naw with the ladder on top, that goes "up up up up!"

 Family picture!

 (Note: Chase can say fire truck, but like his Daddy, he has a lisp that makes the latter word sound like a curse. So we'll just call it a ne-naw for now.)
