Today was so fun! We went to the library across the river, it is awesome. They had a storytime on fire safety, they read books on being a firefighter then they had real live firefighters come visit!! They did the neatest thing, they had all the kids give "firefighter scott" a hug, then they watched him put on his full uniform including the mask etc and then they all had to give him another hug in uniform, and they told the kids, if you see someone in your house that looks like this, dont be afraid and run, go give the guy a hug, if your house in on fire! That was such a neat idea to me, because marlee was kind of freaked out by his appearance in the full uniform with the mask and it scared her the way he was breathing with his mask, so it helped her to be able to see him with it off and on, and give him a hug. Then they went outside to see the fire engine and they all took turns sitting in the drivers seat and they got to see them turn the lights on. Then the all went back inside read another story then made paper fireman helmets with "official badges" with their names on them. Before they left the firemen gave the kids a firefighters trading card that had one of the firefighters picture on it and their "stats". It was so fun! Afterwards my kids played some computer games at the library then they picked out books. Soo fun! We came home and jumped on the trampoline and colored. Good day all around!!

Love, Jaelle
