Fire Hoses & Faces

We went on a tour of our local firehouse today with my MOMS Group. Heather, Chris & the kids came along as well. We had lots of fun learning about fire safety and when to use 911.

Here are the kids with Fireman Eddie.

Here is Joshua with Fireman Eddie.

Rachel is smiling as usual.

Ryder is....well I'm not sure what he's doing...

Such a happy girl.

The kids listening to Fireman Eddie talk....well Heather was listening.

Joshua was so excited to sit inside the Fire Engine.

Watching how they attach a hose to the engine to pump water.

Rachel trying to wink at the firemen.

Tyler got to shoot the fire hose! It really made his day.

See I was really there too.

The whole group in front of the Fire Engine. Rachel isn't too sure about Fireman Eddie, even though his mannerisms reminded us of Dad.

That was our first field trip to a fire station. We really enjoyed it and can't wait to go again in the future!

Sibling Rivalry?

We have been blessed with two children who get along for the most part. Oh sure they have their moments, but they are finally to the ages where they can play together. Here they are the other day playing in a box. Remember back in the day when we would in boxes or built forts with blankets & chairs? I love turning off the tv and letting the kids just play with their toys and their imaginations. They come up with the funniest stuff!
