LittleBear and LadyBear Meet A Trash Truck!!

The City of Waco recently had several open houses where people could come and meet a real garbage truck (a newish, cleanish one) and talk to the drivers, as well as trade in any smaller recycling carts you have for bigger ones.  We already have the biggest cans we can have, but I knew the kids would enjoy seeing a garbage truck up close because every time one drives by, they flock to the window.

LittleBear was VERY excited to get to sit in the driver's seat.  Incidentally, he also honked the horn, which was INCREDIBLY loud (I think Daddy might have heard it at our house), made Mommy literally jump and scared LadyBear into hysterical tears, but thankfully she recovered and we moved on.  

He got to meet the "claw" up close and personal too, which he seemed to be happy about.

We were all impressed with how big the truck was!  It was HUGE!  We are most grateful to the city for a chance to do something new and learn a bit more about the folks that help make our city great.
