A Foamy Situation

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.

Muttonchops Cort:

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?

  15. I 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."

    Glad the guys had a great time!

    Blessings and Bear hugs!

  25. This does look awesome! I'd want to go into it too. :)

    They had fake snow come in once a year at the park when we lived in Florida. The kids always thought that was great.

  26. 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!
