We had a jam-packed Saturday yesterday. Colin and I started out going down to Purdue to watch Daddy run in a 5k. While waiting for the runners to finish, Colin ran laps around the stadium parking lot, telling me he was "running to college!" Luckily we got back to the finish line just as the runners were arriving - because Daddy finished 3rd! We cheered for him as he crossed the finish line, and then someone swiped Daddy's post-race chocolate milk. He'd never had it before.. we couldn't tear it out of his hands!!
Then we headed down to the farmer's market, and Colin enjoyed the season's first honeycrisps...
And then on to Hands on Trucks, the event downtown featuring all kinds of cars and trucks and things that go.. a/k/a Colin's heaven...
We got very hands-on with a giant hook-and-ladder truck...
Colin has a weird fascination with exhaust pipes... he got to touch his very first one and couldn't stop talking about it!
This go-kart was his favorite thing there though, go figure...
He got to drive a squad car...
He got sticker badges from both Lafayette and West Lafayette police officers... he is still wearing his silver badge (a/k/a "police sticker") today!
and finally we finished off the day's outings with some frozen yogurt at a new place up the street.
A great Saturday.. though I think we were as worn out as Colin by the end of it!
