ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A boy overcoming cancer was surprised by the turnout for his fourth birthday.
Whitaker Weinburger loves the "Transformers" character Bumblebee. He thinks every yellow vehicle he sees is the robot superhero, WJLA reported.
So, after overcoming stage 4 neuroblastoma earlier this year, Whitaker’s parents planned a party like no other.
"We hope to see our street teeming with yellow cars on Whitaker's birthday, and can't wait to see his joy and surprise," his parents wrote on social media, WJLA reported.
On Wednesday, their street was filled with about 200 yellow vehicles, including cars, trucks, buses and fire apparatus.
"Bumblebee. Bumblebee. Bumblebee," Whitaker said in delight. "I want to keep all of them."
