Trucks, cars and playgrounds who could ask for anything more?

We've had lots of fun the past couple of days. Yesterday I took the kids to this fire truck museum in Calumet. They had some interesting things there and one of the men even let Walter sit in a few of the old trucks and see the engine. They just don't build building like they used too, upstairs in the old firemen quarters is a work in progress but is pretty neat with all the old woodwork, wainscoting, and a fancy fire place. It had the old beds, a fire pole, a cooking stove and bath tub too. I also added a picture of Rose E next to an old horse drawn hearse, Walter got a big kick out of it, just a bit different than his Daddy's!
Today Walter had fun watching the construction across the street from us. As he saw one of the excavators digging-up the sidewalk he said "Mama is that excavator eating?" Though he loves watching the trucks I will be glad when it is all done. Tonight we met Cyrus and his family and had ice cream with them then played at the playground. It was nice, it's fun to see the two boys together and to listen to their conversations as well as imaginary play. Then we topped of the evening and let Walter drive his motorized lightning car, he was in his glory!
Little miss Rose E here isn't missing a beat. Yesterday I said something about her hair (which by the way is now blond and is getting curlier by the minute) and she touched her hair then I said where are your feet and she touched her feet. Little smartie! She is also now running and boy is she ever a Speedy Gonzalo! She was cracking me up yesterday as she was running in the yard she would run to a spot where she had to turn around and say "the end" then go to another corner and do the same.
