Fire Station #41

We went to the fire station last week! And wouldn't you know that it just happened to be Fire Safety Awareness Week??? (Yeah we TOTALLY did that on purpose!.....no we didn't...just got super duper lucky.) Emily and I thought it would be great to take the kiddos to visit one of the local stations to learn a bit more on what they should do if there were a fire or flood (mostly we just wanted to ride in the fire trucks!)

As you can see by Kendyl's face (second cutie in from the left), the kids were a little bit on the nervous side at the beginning. The fire men were SUPER friendly, but they were BIG!

We talked about Stop, Drop and Roll and then we got to see one of them get all of their cool gear on! They talked about how important it was not to be afraid of a fireman and how they are just there to help you in an emergency.

Now for the fun stuff! They got to hear about all the cool gadgets on the trucks and go through two fire trucks and one ambulance! The kids thought they were pretty hot stuff as they were sitting up in the trucks :)

Of course the kids were sooo cute that they invited them in for some cookies before they left! Nothing like good ole' OREOS with bright orange filling right before you get in the car :)

The kids really had a fun and educational time at Fire Station #41 and of course now Sawyer wants to be a fireman for Halloween!
