The firestation!

The MOMS Club arranged a tour of our local fire station.  This is the station that responded to our 911 call last October when Andrew fell.  The fireman that explained everything about the truck was wonderful with the kids.  Thank you Carrain for taking the pictures.  

Here's Christopher sitting in the truck.  After we got home he played fireman.  He told me, "I'm the captain because the captain is in charge."

Andrew was awestruck!

Learning about the equipment.

Learning about the hoses.  Andrew was amazed.  Here he is asking a question!

More equipment.  With no warning, he started the fan up and they all went running.  Some even cried.  It was loud!

He's explaining the pick ax.

In full gear.  I couldn't believe how Andrew stayed focused throughout the tour.  The fireman let the kids test out his steel-toed boots.  They all thought it was fun stepping on his feet!
