Last sunday our truck club went to Toys R Us to buy the toys we'll donate in a couple weeks to Toys for Tots. We buy these toys with the money we raise at our show in September the Midwest All Truck Nationals this year we were able to purchase $8100 worth of toys! It's pretty cool seeing the convoy of 20-30 trucks roll up with their beds full of toys. Anyway the reason for the post. We took my son and he had a great time.(some of you remember the posts about his room earlier this year) thought I would share some pictures of him from the toy buy..

OK, I've got it started now if I can just get away with these toys....

There is enough good in the worst of us and enough bad in the best of us that it does not behoove any of us to criticize the rest of us.

Mongo, you are training him in the right direction, and from the look on his face, he's ready to go "truckin'." And Joker is absolutely right, it don't get no better.

Be sure to use the right car seat (or truck seat, as the situation may demand) and keep that little boy thinkin' right.

You'll know you've done everything correctly when he asks you, "Dad, can I have the truck tonight to go to the prom?"
