"Wheely" big trucks!
A few years ago, the Village of Downers Grove apparently heard about Will and his obsession with trucks. And they responded with a fabulous annual event that allows kids to get up-close to village vehicles. Will's interests may be broadening -- believe it or not! -- but he has a little sister to brainwash, so he was game. ;)
Something special this year: Will got to operate a cherry picker basket! Ellie may not look excited, but I think she just wanted to take the controls.
Check 'em out, sitting on the "fender" of a front-end loader. Will is clearly in his element. And, have you ever seen a girly girl look so happy to be so close to heavy machinery?
Oh dear: Will behind the wheel. I'm not ready! Ellie was running on fumes, poor girl.
In the mouth of the beast. Pretty cool!
Finally, Will in the cab of a sewer truck. A shout out to the bigwigs in DG: Thanks! And Will is available for a reasonable hourly rate if you need someone to plow this winter.
