Big Truck Night

We are so fortunate to be part of an excellent program in the Maize school district. It is called Parents as Teachers (PAT). It is a state funded program with the core belief that parents are the first teachers to their children. They support many activities for families together and also home visits and a preschool program. Chase is enrolled in the Eaglets preschool class on Tuesday nights which will start in 2 weeks. He likes it very much and Chad and I take turns with him so we get quality one-on-one time together. Last night, PAT hosted Big Truck Night at the school parking lot. We usually go each year and it has gotten bigger and better each time.

Our first matter of business was riding the school bus....like Emily doesn't get enough of that already!?!?! It was a fun short ride.

Chase gives the American Red Cross dog a high-five!

Eating popsicles from the Schwan man in front of the tow truck.

Both of the kids sat in the police car.....let's hope I don't have any other pics to take of them in this car at any time during their lives!!!!!

Our last stop was visiting the firefighters. Very interesting and so big.

It was a warm August evening, but so much fun to get a close-up view of each of these large trucks that are all so much a part of our world!
