There was a fire truck out front of the YMCA. What kiddo isn't excited to see a fire truck?
The kids got to climb in the truck and sit in the seats
And they got very nice fire hats!
The mascot from the Syracuse Silver Knights indoor soccer team was there. Cam didn't care that it was a team mascot, he only cared that he got to battle with a knight!
And get his picture taken with a knight!
Leah, on the other hand, was petrified of the knight and practically crawled up my legs to get away from him! She did not want to be anywhere near him, did not want her picture taken with him, and was very concerned that Cameron was even so close. It was funny because she has more or less gotten over her fear of characters, but I guess maybe not when they are huge tall knights!
There was a table for an agency that did music lessons for kids. They had a tiny kid-sized violin that the kids could try out. Leah was able to do a good job with help from the teacher.
Cameron didn't need much help and actually did an awesome job making actual music (as opposed to the screeching strings that most of the other kids were making). This kiddo definitely has some musical talent in him!
Outside they had a station where the kids planted a tomato plant, face painting, a bounce house and some other things set up. Cam and Leah got very excited when they saw this guy coming across the field:
It is Crunchman - the Syracuse Crunch hockey team mascot. Leah was definitely NOT afraid of him and was so excited to see him and give him a high five.
