Fire Trucks

 What little boy doesn't love big fire trucks.... We had the opportunity to visit a local Fire Station with our Playgroup. Although, it was set up ahead of time, when 20 toddlers and their mom's show up- it's bound to throw a few stunned firemen into a frenzy of sorts. They started the tour with fire safety. yes, that is important to teach at some point. But all our little ones wanted to do, was climb on the truck. So after a few awkward moments, the guys gave up and inviting the kiddos to climb in and on the truck. It took Hunter a few minutes to warm up, but once he did it was on like Donkey Kong.  Again, No fear !!!!

 Hunter sees something rather interesting and is telling the fireman "look over there"

 The big thrill - driving the big truck. I think we climbing around in the cab a least a dozen times. Very interesting to see actually see the inside of the trucks and their living quarters. ( really nice station for the guys-they have a dream kitchen)

 Taking a rest on the back of the truck.... It was soo HOT that morning after the tour we had planned to go to the park for some play and a picnic. But after about 5 minutes at the station, we all voted No park or picnic. We are so looking forward to the days when we can actually get outside and play again. Several mornings, I thought maybe we'll go swimming, but it's even to hot to do that. Ugh.....

As we were finishing our tour of the inside of the station, a call came through and we had to rush out with the guys (rather comical moment watching 20 mom's rounding up their not so happy, screaming babies and running out of the garage to watch the truck leave) But a great way to end the tour, lights and sirens and few good honks of the horn as they drove off. Big Big hit for all that attended.
