Fire on Deck (or, "Coolest Toy Ever")

My super duper aunt and uncle got HD the coolest gift ever last Christmas.  A full-on vintage style metal fire truck for her to ride around, complete with bicycle pedals, clanging bell with pulley, and detachable mini wooden ladders.  Seriously amazing -- it's the kind of thing you see in photos of little kids in the 1940s.  Only problem was that, at age 6 months, it was a tad beyond her capabilities at the time (despite the fact that HD is devastatingly advanced and mature for her age, naturally).

It's so very shiny.
But this past weekend to celebrate her 15 month birthaversary, we busted it out.




And it was GLORIOUS.  My girl is so on board with tools and rescue missions.  Make-a me proud!

HD got a lesson in wrench-handling from Daddy
Kid is totally ready to save the day

  1. Dee ~ in the picture where Daddy is "helping" her with the wrench ... I see YOU so clearly in her face, the concentration is remarkably like you used to have when you were focused on something as a child. ((Sorry ... Bobby))
