Firehouse Fun!

One of Colin's current favorite things is fire engines (and police cars and ambulances). He loves to see them on the road, especially if they have their sirens on. He MUST know what the emergency is and where it is and if it's over yet. (We're thinking he needs a scanner) As we were driving around the neighborhood last week, I noticed a sign on the local firehouse for a Sunday Open House. Perfect!!!

So post-nap and post-Steeler game last Sunday, we hit up the Fire House Open House for some fun! Daddy and I decided it was our favorite kind of outing - close by, free, and outside in gorgeous weather! The kids were VERY impressed with the big ladder truck!


Colin decided he wanted to try out the hose. He was pretty good! He knocked those fires down pretty darn quickly!



So proud of himself!

G declined a turn, but she claimed the hat that Colin had earned! No skin off C's nose, he's not a hat man.

Gillian wanted a balloon. REALLY wanted a balloon. We couldn't do anything else until we made our way to the back of the fire house and got a balloon. THEN we could go back out and check out the fire trucks!




Such a happy boy!


It was a nice afternoon! The kids really enjoyed playing in the fire trucks (until C accidentally set off an oxygen meter in the fire truck and it freaked him out). The fire chief invited us to come see their drills on Monday evenings too! Oh boy!
