The Fire Station

Today Amelia had a field trip to the fire station. She has been talking about this field trip for at least a week, asking every day when she wakes up if it was the day to go to the fire station. She was so excited to meet "real firemen" and see the fire trucks up close. The firemen gave a great tour and I think it was everything Amelia had hoped. We got to see their bedroom, kitchen, exercise room. Then we got to watch a fireman slide down the pole. The kids got to sit in the fire engine and the fire truck, and yes there is a difference. The fire engine carries the water, the fire truck carries the tools and ladders. They got to watch a fireman get dressed in all his gear and then got Jr. Firefighter badges. It was probably the best field trip we have had so far.

All the kids loved to knock on the helmet once the fireman was in his gear.

Even Nina had a great time.
