It's been a busy month of September. Three weeks ago we celebrated Farm Days which is ironic because (1) few people here have probably ever stepped foot on a farm and (2) going to Farm Days saved Dad from watching the travesty/debacle of the horrible Iowa / Iowa State football game. This weekend was Touch a Truck where I get to see all the truck and vehicles used by the local city. This is my second time at both events; being a seasoned veteran, I knew what I wanted to see but still had a hard time containing my excitement.
Farm Fest is always a lot of fun. There is a petting zoo with rabbits, chickens, ducks, llamas, goats, miniature horses. They had a donkey too - and it wasn't dad. They even had a dog. I spent a lot of time petting animals which was the highlight.
This weekend was Touch a Truck - a chance to see all the trucks I have been reading about in my books. I got to climb in and steer all sorts of trucks, semi, fire engines, garbage trucks, tractors and police cars. I even got to honk the horn and turn on the sirens. My favorite was the garbage truck - it's where I wanted to go to first. But, I really enjoyed finding the loud horn on the snow plow. I was pretty proud of myself because it made a baby cry. Hey...if you can't run with the big dogs, you should stay on the porch...sad, but true.
