Fire Station Visit


Today we went to one of the local firehouses to visit and meet some of the firemen. The boys loved it and enjoyed it tremendously! We were able to go with cousins, Ava and Emma, and friends, Mason, Addison, and Lincoln. All the Momma's loaded up the kids and took them to the fire station. We walked in and saw the kitchen, living room, and sleeping quarters of the men. Next was the ambulance.

Will and Mason liked watching the stretcher coming out and pushing the buttons that raised and lowered it. Super cool! All the kids also got to see inside and all around a real firetruck. Of course, we all had to pose in front of the trip to document this special trip. Here are a few of the snapshots we took. Never mind that there is not one picture where all 7 kids are looking at the same time. I would like to meet the person that can accomplished that!

So maybe it wasn't the best idea to put the size 2, smallest, tiniest Momma in all the fire clothes. I think she almost fell over. That stuff was super heavy, hot, and smelled of smoke (who would have thought?) Next up, the brave ones had to try on everything as well. I was just proud of Will that he did not fall over backwards while trying on the helmet. He almost couldn't lift his head enough to even get a picture taken. It was pretty funny!

Now for the cutest picture of the whole day (in my opinion). This one was taken of my little O man. Nothing can stop him. Nothing can slow him down. Nothing can detour him from tearing apart something. Unless, maybe, it is a 20 pound fire coat:)
