Today I happened to grab the camera right when the garbage truck came. Oaklen and I were looking out the window as we witnessed the garbage truck accidentally pick up two garbage cans (the blue recycle and the green garbage) instead of one green can. The blue can (that had already been emptied previously) went flying over the truck and landed on the other side.
Oaklen immediately started crying. He was very concerned about the blue garbage can. After the garbage truck finished emptying our two green cans and went on it's way, I was able to see that the blue can was across the street, laying on it's side. Oaklen was still quite disturbed so I reassured him that the blue can was okay. I went outside and "rescued" the blue can. Now there is a dent at the top of the can, but other than that it looks okay. I'm surprised that the garbage man didn't stop to check anything. I'm glad that there wasn't a car parked across the street, there could have been damage done.
Now Oaklen likes to talk about the flying garbage can. Ask him about it sometime. :)
Here is a picture of the green and blue can just before they were picked up. (The image is bad since I was taking the picture with a window.)

That's something that Oaklen will always remember since he loves the garbage truck so much. What a kid!
He keeps me smiling :)

I love that Oaklen love the grabage truck. Too cute.
I'll definately have to ask him about the "flying" garbage can the next time I see him.
