What a neat experience it was too! The firemen were so nice and really opened up every little thing for the kids to climb through. They even raised the huge ladder from the ladder truck and they gave every kid the chance to turn the water on and spray it from the water hose. So neat! And Andrew always points out the ladders on the fire trucks when he sees them now and on the toy one we have at home. The kids got to climb up in the fire truck, back of the ambulance and see all of the gear in the lockers and the fire chief's car. And while we were there the ambulance received a call to respond to so it got all kinds of "oooh's and ahhhh's" when it turned on its siren on the way out of the station.
After that we headed to McDonald's for lunch and play time with Bridget and her 3 sweet girls. So it was definitely a super fun outing for me and the boys!

| Joseph and the girls by the station pole! I wasn't sure if they still used those or not, but the fireman said they have done away with them in the newer stations for safety reasons because there have been cases up north of the firemen's skin getting stuck to the pole when it's super cold! Eeek! |

| Inside the chief's car. There were a few too many pushable buttons in there for me, lol! |
 |
| Andrew finally got brave to sit up in the big fire truck on our way out |
 |
| Such a fun time and great learning experience! |
