Visit to the Fire Station

Ruby and I went with Sol's preschool class to visit the Fire Station. It was pretty much awesome. Everything you'd want in a visit to the Fire Station, minus a slide down the fire pole (apparently they can't have those any more). We practiced stop, drop and roll:

We walked around the fire trucks and engines (there is a difference! thanks fireman Clark).

Ruby loved the hangin with the kids.

Sol got to hold the jaws of life, they were waaay heavy!
We got the "I look and sound scary but don't run away" lecture. Well received for the most part. I think a few kids were still skeptical.

Overall it was pretty awesome! Sol has great teachers, they are so fun, and so loving. Fireman Clark was cool. So glad we got to share this token preschool experience with Sol!

Aw, I bet it was awesome!! How cool that you got to go too. I vaguely remember doing those sort of things, and it's all good memories. I bet this will also be a vague good memory for these kiddos!

HAHA.. I remember when Hailey went to the firestation last year and when they gave the 'don't run away' speech, Addy was clenching to me with all her little might. She was scared out of her MIND of that darn mask. Looks like Ruby fits right in!
