There is nothing better on a Sunday afternoon in South Carolina then to go to your town’s Touch a Truck event. You can wander up and down the closed off main street, climb, explore, and take in the amazing attributes that the various pieces of equipment possess.
Driving a mini front loader fills a preschooler with unexplainable joy.
Discussing the road grader with your dad creates a bonding memory.
Getting to experience shifting gears and checking out each button is heaven.
Boys both young and slightly aging love to take it all in.
Some of the slightly aging boys may need time to explore on their own.
It seems exploring and playing on construction equipment is something boys never outgrow.

What fun!! Looks like he had a blast! Sammy would have loved to join him!
I can’t imagine anything cooler for a boy than that. And actually my little girl loved climbing up in a firetruck and putting on the fireman’s helmet so I guess that goes for girls, too!
Too fun~ I bet both boys were in heaven 🙂
Hehe! I think you are right about most boys liking machinery forever. 🙂
I am sure he had a wonderful day.Boys will always like machinery. Great V word
I’ll have to see if they have something similar here. My littlest grandson would absolutely love that!!!
haha!! What a great way to spend the day! A boy’s dream day for sure…no matter what age :o)
Blessings & Aloha!
What fun! Looks like a great day was had! ~Hugs, M
Oh yes the guys in my family love vehicles, too. Fun views…
Yes, all the boys love trucks of all kinds! lol
OMG!! This would be absolute heaven for my little guy! He has this strange obsession for tractors for a 19 month old!
I’m still sad I had to work on touch a truck day here. Glad you guys had fun!
What a fun time! 🙂
fun one.
love it, especially when it is shown in computer.
No, they never outgrow it. We have a big equipment training center in town and the guys eat it up!
Awesome trucks. I want one!
How fun for both of them!
Boys and their toys! I must say I have really come to appreciate my nephew’s backhoe as a miracle machine!
I’ll bet his little heart was thumping with excitement when he climbed aboard! What a wonderful day for him.
I have girls but I bet they would love to do this too.
I know all about that kind of fun. When our grandsons visit there is always a trip to the local trucking-excavating company to look at the heavy equipment and dream.
Boys and their construction equipment! My sons (and husband) would love an event like this. =>
He he, boys will always be boys (I love the last pic, my Hubs would do the same 😉 ). And my tot would be in heaven, he would ask to spend the night there.
That looks like a ton of fun! I know that E would LOVE to go to something like that! She’s totally into vehicles and trucks right now (which must sound strange since she’s a girl) which is why we’re going to a bus festival this weekend 🙂
That looks like fun! Both of my boys would go crazy for that too! It makes me wish I was still living in South Carolina!
I think you are right – Boys never outgrow their love for these kind of toys!
Now that’s one exciting day for JDaniel!
My son would have gone crazy for this when he was tiny!
That’s so cool being in a front loader. My boys would have loved it if they had a chance to be driven in one.
My grandson would LOVE this!
=)
What an adventure for the little man !
What fun! Looks like they had a great time!
What fun! My boys would love this!
What a great day! My kids would love to go! Though I’m not sure if they have them where I live. I’ll have to be on the lookout. 🙂
This is wonderful! It looks like a really fun day! I hope you are doing great!

What fun!!
Love this… I work at a fire station and my grandboys love to come sit in the fire trucks!!
That looks like a blast!!
Construction trucks truly are a way into a boys (of any age) heart. We had our front yard completely re-done and they left a samll loader in our driveway overnight. You would have thought it was Christmas morning with how excited my boys got. They sat in that thing for what felt like HOURS!
So fun!!!Looks like everyone had a blast! He probably LOVED IT!
Yes, I do think trucks have ageless appeal to males!
Trucks are so cool! We have Caterpillar and Case New Holland plants in the city I live in southeastern Brazil, I love going past their yard! I myself would love to touch one someday! what a great event!
Take care and keep smiling. <3
That sounds like a boys’ dream!!! I know my son would have been just as enthusiastic. 🙂
My kids love touch a truck!
Boys big and small would love this!!! Heck, I would love it. Very cool.
Oh that truck looks so cool.
What boy wouldn’t completely LOVE this?!
Looks like a great day for both of your dudes! 🙂
A Touch a Truck event is so cool! I wish there was one in Malaysia. Both my hubby and son would love it too. In fact, Mommy wouldn’t mind it too!
What is it about little boys and heavy machinery? Big boys, too, for that matter. 🙂 Great pics.
Ahem… errr… I liked getting behind any wheel as a girl… and still now… 😀 Glad your “boys” had a fun time bonding with a common interest.
What a great event! I would love to go to that.
There’s actually an ‘amusement’ park in Las Vegas now consisting of driving heavy equipment.
I think it’s like 400 bucks to drive the big stuff.
I bet you had a hard time dragging your son off that equipment to go home…and perhaps your husband, too!
Thanks for a cute link!
A+
