We visited the Fire Station today and the kids had a great time. They said they would set up another time for us to come back so the kids get to ride on the back of the trucks. Hannah was fascinated with the "Yellow" truck. I think it was her favorite. They got to tour all the trucks, the ambulances, the gear, and then they watched a video on fire safety. The one to answer all the questions: Hannah! This fire department is also starting a new program called Explorers. Kids from ages 14-18 can volunteer and train with the fire department. I thought that was pretty cool. We joined up with the Hollands, another homeschool family here, and Jazi also was able to go with us. Here's the pictures:
This was Truck 34, their old truck from the 30's they restored.

I couldn't leave Simeon out. His favorite was Truck 34, but he's so short you can't see him in the picture, so here he is in the water truck checking out the inside.
