We love FIRETRUCKS!!!

So, some nannies that nanny for my neighbor's ex-neighbors (is that confusing enough?) came up with the great idea to take a group of kids to the fire-station. They set up the trip and my neighbor asked us to come along. We had a GREAT time, and my kiddos were SO excited!!! Here's the pics to prove it!

Ok, so the fire-fighters said that if mommy put on the outfit maybe the kids wouldn't be scared...so here I am, the willing volunteer...the kids WERE still scared by the way...it was the ONLY time Kate cried the whole visit! :(
Kate and JR examining the "get-up" after the fire-fighter laid it all out on the ground for them to touch and play with. (Smart guy.)
Then he put the pieces on one by one, saying "It's still me" as he did each one...SO great!

Our little fam. on the front of the truck.

J.R. not liking to sit up in the truck
Most of the kids on the truck...I think there are 2 missing who were scared....notice all the kids looking off to their right---they're looking at the fireman who had come out all dressed up in his gear. Hence the 2 scared children (this was before the slow piece by piece attempt).
When we came home, we had our neighbors over and made fire-trucks from construction paper and ate lunch. A fun day was had by all!!!

Too cute!! Looks like a fun field trip!

Did you get the email I sent you awhile back? We're going to be in town next month and would love to get together for lunch or something...

What a great (free!) idea!
