Just like last year, Marc stopped by to show the kids a big truck. He let everybody climb up and see it up close. What a treat!
Julia and Uncle Andrew:
Nobody loved this more than Stella. Her first words the next morning were "big truck, beep, too loud!". For several days afterwards, she keeps talking about it.
