big rig gig

trucks trucks trucks! ramona, like all other toddlers, is obsessed with big trucks, buses, tractors, and loud machines. (why she is afraid of the vacuum cleaner is anyone's guess). thanks to the city of madison, big trucks were parked for the sole purpose of child exploration this weekend at the city's first "big rig gig." it was great. garbage trucks, fire trucks, police cars, a city bus, a snow plow, tractors, back hoes....you name it, it was there.

ramona and her nana take a pretend wagon ride.
big wheel, little person.
nice shovel.
ramona and david get into the cab of a snow plow and salting truck.

seriously good idea, madison. maybe this is a great place to live, after all. (see here, and here, and here. oh, and this seems like a good thing, too).
