weeeooo wweeeoooo

that is the sound a "ire duck" makes. aka a fire truck. aka the man's favorite thing to spot when we're out driving. that and "whhhhhheeeeelllls" aka wheels. 

lucky for the man, his mom has sweet connections and they got to go on a tour of the fire station today. i think their size was a bit intimidating at first, but then he was very excited and only wanted to go inside the truck. also lucky for him is that firemen are nice and helped him up and let him push any button he wanted up there. 

sorry for the stinky photos, iPhone is as good as it got today {did i mention that my spouse bought me one for christmas?? he's so cool}

chillaxing. he looks like he owns the place. 

this is zak's favorite friend. unfortunately for him, i don't think the feeling is quite mutual, but they still like to play together most of the time. 

 i wish he decided to smile in some of these, because he really was very excited.

 anytime he gets to drive is like the best day of his life. 

i have about 10 of these pictures, and he refused to look at the camera or let go of whatever he was holding on to. gotta love almost two year olds. 

then most of our group left, and a very nice firemen helped zak up and let him loose in the driver's seat.  

then another firefighter talked to him through the head phones. 

 he was a little concerned about where the sound was coming from. they also used the walkie talkie too, and that was pretty fun. 

i love that he's now at the age where things are really awesome. and at that age where i can't tell him what we're doing ahead of time other wise he has a freak out until we actually do it. that's not quite as much fun, i have slipped a time or two by saying we were going to costco after nap time and he spent half an hour crying in his bed to go to "coscoooooooooo" until i came in and told him we weren't going there. {i don't even really know why he likes it that much, but he does}. 

hopefully we'll get these germs out of our house soon and be able to start doing other fun things because the weather is fantastic here! i was a little bummed during the christmas season that it was not cold but i'm over it now.
