When we went to Touch A Truck in Salem, we went prepared. Each boy wore a swimsuit and sunscreen.
Because by far, the highlight of Touch A Truck is the massive pit of foam provided by the fire department.
I mean, when you're a little boy, is there anything more inviting than a pit of foam on a steamy July day?
And the foam just keeps coming, from the big foam shooter. Every few minutes, waves and waves of foam.
A foam sea.
Yes, folks, I almost wish I was 7 again.

The world's biggest bubblebath.
Afterwards, you can go under the firetruck mister to rinse off.
I use the term "rinse off" very loosely.
Mud dance, anyone?
Why, oh why didn't they have foam pits when I was a kid?
Most of the stuff that I used to have fun doing is probably illegal now.

ReplyDeleteToo bad its only for kids.
ReplyDeleteHow fun! Great activity for hot summer day!

Foam Pit!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a WONDER!
Precious boys. What fun!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like so much fun!!
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures.
My boys would love that! How fun! I can see why you'd want to join in. I'd want to as well.
ReplyDeleteFun, Fun fun.
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was a blast!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is awesome, whoever thought of it is a genius! And your pictures are super!
ReplyDeleteI think foam pits better than mosh pits! And fire departments usually use that stuff on gasoline fires and the like. I suspect the fire department may have just pulled out a small barrel of dish soap or liquid laundry soap for that day's "show."
ReplyDeleteGlad the guys had a great time!
Blessings and Bear hugs!
This is awesome! Great pics! My son use to make is own suds and play in sprinklers, but it was nothing like this. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, now that was AWESOME! I would love that too!...:)JP
ReplyDeleteOh, FUN!! Does that count as bath night??? ;)
ReplyDeleteHow fun for the boys; mud and all!
ReplyDeleteKids today have it made--foam pits, inflatable trampolines, inflatable water slides, etc. etc. I'd certainly like to be seven again!
ReplyDeleteI love this. Hilarious! These are great photo's of the boys having so much fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI've never seen foam pits. Glad they had so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLooks like fun --even for ME!!!! I'd love it! BUT--it's perfect for kids who want to play in the foam and dirt.... What JOY on a hot summer day!!!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
How fun! My grands would have loved that. I could see myself playing in the foam too.
ReplyDeleteThis does look awesome! I'd want to go into it too. :)
ReplyDeleteThey had fake snow come in once a year at the park when we lived in Florida. The kids always thought that was great.
Compared to the neighborhood trouble in summer we sometimes got into (throwing mud balls at passing cars while standing in between houses) this would have been a better alternative! How fun!
ReplyDeleteI want foam sea too! I'd jump right in!
