An exciting Sunday afternoon for Lucas

Yesterday, my parents and their friends decided to walk from Bruehl to Ketsch to the "Leistungsschau" (basically some local businesses were there to present their services). It was the warmest day of this year, so far. I really wanted to spent most of the afternoon outside with Lucas, so we decided to join them. I'm not really used to walk that far anymore, nedless to say to sports of any kind... hahah. So it was really nice, but also a little exhausting at times. Lucas had a blast of course, as we passed horses and goats and saw all kinds of vehicles like tractors etc.

Most of the show was being held inside a hall. Lucas was going crazy when we passed one stand that had a big remote truck standing there. He wanted to get off my arms and play with it right away. Then we let him walk for a little and he started taking off. He ran straight towards something and didn't care about all the feet around him. All of a sudden we saw, that he was going for a poster that had some cars printed on it. He was hilarious! Even other people stopped, watched him and laughed at him. He started shouting and talking to the cars. We just had to stop him, because all of a sudden he ripped a little part of the poster. Thankfully the men that worked at the stand were busy with customers and didn't see it.

The most exciting thing of all, was the helicpoter outside the hall that took off and landed about every 10 minutes though. Lucas was really fascinated and couldn't close his mouth anymore. He wanted everyone to go outside with him. First he asked me, then he wanted to go on Bettina's arms and told her "hubo" (Hubschrauber - helicopter), so she went out with him. Then it was grandpa's turn and on and on it went. I forgot to take a pic of that though.

When we walked back home, Lucas was little fuzzy in the stroller, but about halfway back, he finally gave in and was hanging in there really beat.
