Our trip to the fire station...

Today I went with Alli's preschool class on a field trip to the local fire station. The firemen (or whatever they are called these days) were so friendly and excited to show off their trucks. Each kid got a firefighter helmet. The kids took turns sitting in the driver's seat of the big red engine. We toured the fire house, but the power was out due to utility work, so we had to use flashlights. Most of the kids thought that was very cool.

Here is Alli with some of her classmates and her teachers (wearing firefighting gear).

They let the kids squirt a manually pumped hose. Alli pumped while Luke controlled the hose (see his huge grin). Many innocent bystanders got wet.

Ruby came along with us. She was thrilled to get a hat. She was thrilled to have lots of things to climb on (trucks).

Alli's pink boots were perfect for the occasion!
