Fabulous Fire Fighter Field Trip





Angela just stared at this fireman with her mouth open like this the whole time he was getting on his gear.
We got to go on a fantastic field trip this week. We love going to the fire station (we went 2 years ago with Natalie's group). We felt so special - there were 6 firemen (more firemen than preschoolers!) who took us around their station. We toured their living quarters - the kitchen, bedrooms, living room, etc. The had dispatch call out a "practice" call to Smart Cookies and they showed the kids their cool trucks, fire suits and tools. It was awesome. The part I appreciated the most as a mom, was when one of the guys got all dressed up in his gear to show the kids that they might look a little scary (and sound scary - the mask sounds like Darth Vader), but if a fireman comes to your house in a fire, they are there to help. The fireman talked to the kids about not hiding or running away from them. As you can see in the picture above the fireman - Angela doesn't look too sure. (o:


We loved our field trip - these guys were so nice and I am so grateful for the service they give to our community. Especially since Sarah's scary accident on the playground last year. Having such kind, well-trained and professional people to call on in an emergency is such a blessing. Yeah for firemen!! (o:
