"Touch A Truck" Event

A couple of weekends ago (before Jack was born), we took the girls to St. Johns for the annual "Touch A Truck" event.  We went last year and had a good time and decided to try it out again for another year ... even though it was overcast and chilly outside.  Samantha quite vividly remembered the "corn bin" and was begging to be able to go in it again. 

Sophia was a little unsure of the whole "corn kernels sticking to her toes" idea.  (She has never been one that liked anything sticky/dirty on her).  Eventually, she got used to the idea.

To conclude the event, we went inside (where it was definitely warmer!), and the girls got to make a special craft -- a flower that holds candy.  The girls don't have candy too often, so it was definitely a nice treat for them.
