Poppa found an amazing Tonka Fire Rescue Truck on Craig's List, and just knew that our grandchildren really needed to have it. The 3 foot long truck drives by itself forward and backwards....the ladder goes up and swings side to side...and there are sirens and lights!! 
He invited Carl and Gus for a Saturday morning surprise and went to pick them up. They were excited to go to the store and choose their own morning treat...chocolate-toed bear claw for Gus...
....sprinkled cake doughnut for Carl 
After our snack, Poppa had them sit in the livingroom with their eyes covered.."no peeking, Gus!"
Then Poppa started the firetruck driving into the room with its lights flashing and motors rolling! They jumped up and ran to him to find out what this great surprise was! After a brief inservice from Poppa, they were soon old pro's at moving the ladder and driving the truck.
Carl was quick to investigate all the levers...and Gus discovered buttons Poppa hadn't even noticed!!
They both took their turns running the machines. What fun!! Great new exciting toy! Wait until Logan sees it!! Wow!!
