A couple of weeks ago Allie's preschool class went on a field trip to the
fire station. A friend took her for me, but they were not even there 10 minutes when the alarm sounded. There was an accident that required their services. The kids were disappointed, but they thought it was pretty exciting to see the firemen in action as they jumped onto the truck and sped away. Today we tried it again. This time I got to go which made a little girl very happy. Brother Arnold started the tour out with a game of which toys are safe. The kids got to pick something from the bag and then they talked about if it was okay to play with or not.
Then they all practiced crawling to the door to see if it was hot.
Then they quickly put the fire out with a little Stop Drop and Roll.
Hats were given out. All the kids were so happy to get a new one since the strings had broke on all the ones they were given before.
The kids got to walk through the fire engine, and then they even got to sit in the driver's seat and check out all the buttons.
What a good little model.
The whole class-Nolan, Xavier, Addison, Allie, and Thomas on the bumper with Addie and Marshall in front.

After we left the
fire station Allie and I went to mail the invitations to Terra's baby shower. Not even 5 minutes from when we'd left the fire engine came speeding down the road with its lights and sirens going. It headed toward our house, which made Allie immediately wonder if any of her friends' houses might be on fire. We were quite a ways behind so I told her we wouldn't be able to see where it stopped. When we lost sight she had me roll down the windows on the van to see if we could hear the siren anymore. We couldn't, but as we turned on our street, there it was. Unfortunately one of our neighbors was in need of their services. A couple of
sheriff vehicles and the ambulance all converged across the street. I hope everything is okay with the family. But the kids thought it was a great end to their field trip.
