Fire Station Tour

Last week, I took Jamie & Jacob on a tour of the fire station with our playgroup. Jacob LOVES fire trucks... and dump trucks, garbage trucks, tanker trucks, tractors... you get the point. It seems that as far as little boys go... they love balls & sports, dinosaurs, superheros, trains, or cars & trucks... and our little man goes for the cars & trucks! Needless to say, he had a great time. Jamie wasn't too sure about listening to the firemen, and wasn't terribly impressed with the big red fire engines... but Jacob loved it. He followed the firemen around without even looking back to see where I was, he was speechless as they showed him the tools & equipment on the trucks, and he was the first in line to shake the fireman's hand as he dressed in full bunker gear. Jamie... well, she wouldn't even look at them with their gear on... but did reluctantly give him "five" when he took his gear off. Afterwards, we headed to Moe's to grab lunch with a few friends... we had a nice morning.
Jacob is impressed with the equipment on the truck!

After the demonstration... Jonathan, Jamie, & Jacob wonder how to get up the pole!

Jacob... quick to give a hand shake...

Jamie only does so when the gear comes off!

Jonathan tries on the coat... he has a little more growing to do!
