I brought the kids to the fire station today. I have been wanting to do something like this ever since Andy misssd the fieldtrip to the fire station when he was in preschool- so this was an awesome day! It went great minus a temper tantrum from Ryan while they were showing a safety video.
Ryan absolutely loved this dog. When it came out he smiled so big and clapped for him, and then pointed at the dog with his cute little chubby finger. It was so so cute. The dog came over to Ryan and held out his paw and Ryan gave him a 5!
The kids all got to feel the suit the firefighters wear. The funniest thing was that they had a bunch of the kids volunteer to be a house, then some to be the smoke, one to be the safety spot, and then the firefighter came out all dressed up in his gear (down to the oxygen mask being turned on). All these little kids who were being the house and smoke went running back to their mommies bawling their eyes out. Then at the end, there was one little boy still standing there like, huh?? What do I do. It was flippin hilarious.
This was the one thing that our kids would actaully do that didnt seem to scare the living daylights out of them. They thought they were such little studs after this. All of the sudden my little boys had struts... it was hilarious!!
Andy and Justin would hve nothing to do with putting on the firefighter's gear, so I had Ryan do it to show them how easy it was, but his legs didnt make it down the length of the boot! Nice try though!
The end. They got a little fire fighter coloring book that they thought was the best. Now maybe we can go hit up the police staion :)
What fun! I saw it in the community ed. calendar and then forgot all about it!
