My good friend Stephanie set up a field trip to the Glendale fire station last week. We almost didn't get to go because of Lucy's virus, but the morning of she was feeling much better with no fever. We had a blast. They gave us a tour and let the kids spend a great deal of time inside the truck.
The kids got to take turns spraying the small hose from the truck. It was so hot I stood close by to get cooled off a little in the mist.
Jesse and Shelby want to check out every fire station in the area to see how they are different and alike. I am going to find out which one my neighbor works at and take them there soon. They are hoping to find a fireman pole at the next one.
Preslie felt like big stuff walking around the garage. She had no clue what was going on, but she enjoyed her freedom!
Ryan impressed the firemen with his vast knowledge about the equipment and truck radio. He is one smart little boy! Stephanie just started homeschooling him and Devon. She is such a natural born teacher. I love watching her interact with her kids. Everything is a learning experience and she is so patient. Maybe some of her patience will rub off on me!
Devon ran straight up to this gentleman and hoped into his arms. He has grandchildren her age, so he scooped her up and carried her around during the tour. It was very sweet.
