Elsie likes trucks. A lot. Last night, while getting ready for bed, we heard a loud truck drive by the house. The following conversation ensued:

E: Truck! BIG truck!

M: It did sound like a big truck. What do you think it was carrying?

E: Babies.

M: Really? Just babies?

E: No, babies and mamas.

M: Oh, babies AND mamas. Where is the truck going?

E: Mmmm...the park!

M: Really? To the park?

E: Yes! Mama truck!

M: You want Mama to ride on the truck?

E: YES! Tomorrow! Mama and Elsie ride! To the park!

And there you go- I guess our plans for today are all set!

EDIT: Monday pm- While we didn't go for a truck ride this morning, we did meet friends ("Mamas and babies!") at the park for a play date and picnic.  And it just so happened that a carnival was arriving to set up in the parking lot for later this week- dozens of huge trucks with carnival rides on their flat beds.  Elsie thought it was just about the coolest thing she had ever seen.

She's going to be so disappointed when she doesn't get to ride on a big truck tomorrow! :)

Cute story! My girls keep asking if they can go to Madison to the zoo and to see Elsie... sometime this summer!
