Fire trucks!

One of the nice things about living in NYC when you are a 2 year old boy is that within one minute, just standing on the corner, you can see a fire truck, ambulance, police car, double-decker bus, taxi, garbage truck, street cleaner or motorcycle go by...

Owen has become quite knowledgeable about all of these vehicles, and yesterday as we were waiting for Jack to come out of the sandwich shop, a fire truck pulled up right in front of us. In his excitement, Owen started yelling, "fire truck! fire truck!", and six firemen hopped off the truck, and Owen was instantly fascinated. As each fireman walked by, Owen gave them a high five or a fist bump, and the last fireman offered to let him "drive" the truck... a 2 year old boy's dream come true...
