Firefighter

Our playgroup recently went to a local Fire Station for the 'ol tour. The kids really had a great time seeing the fire truck and the ladder truck (yes there is a difference). Fire trucks carry water, about 5000 gallons, and the ladder trucks are just that, with a bunch of tools. The kids were able to jump in the trucks and try on the head phones (the firemen talk to them trough the head phones), they also were each given a chance to spray a hose. Of course they did the talk about calling 911 and the whole "stop drop and roll" thing. They also got in full gear to show the kids how they look and sound in a fire. Jake was star struck the entire time, and Jeffrey enjoyed the time too. Jeffrey kept saying "youk mama" (look mama). Right before we left, the firemen had me dress up in their gear to show the kids. It was really a great time.
Here are some pics from the day!
