Right outside of our neighborhood is the most beautiful fire station that I have ever seen. It's so close that we can walk there rather quickly. In November or maybe it was October, they had an open house. It was a rainy day so we ended up driving over but it was still a great time!
They had a cute fishing for prize station for the kids 5 & under.
Eliot was very curious about the fishing!
Elese was actually pretty knowledgeable about fire safety because the firefighters had just visited her school. Also, this is the 1st time she climbed up into the truck.
Eliot was a little scared of the truck but went along as along as big brother and sister were with him!
Out of all 4 kids Elese & Eliot were the only ones that would wear the fire hats. Made me a little sad that Em & Eli were getting too big for that :(
Our neighbor down the street Bob is a firefighter! We got to see his uniform and check out his locker.
This is Jeanne our next door neighbor. She & Elese are great friends. Jeanne was spending the weekend with her Dad and we just happened to run into them at the open house. Sorry about the pictures...my camera was not cooperating inside the fire station!
Elese & Eliot spent a good amount of time in the bouce house. This was Eliot's first time to actually go inside & jump! He always says yes but never goes inside. We practically had to pull them out to leave :)
The slide on the side was another favorite!
As soon as Em & Eli saw the snack station they were headed right there. Thankfully they were serving Coke!
Check out Eliot's eyes...he was super afraid of a character that was coming around. He's at the age where those things scare the day lights out of him!
Our next stop was to check out the CPR room.
I swear Em looks just like me here. She was acting so silly about performing CPR...we all had a good laugh just watching her.
Eliot sat there but wouldn't touch the dummy. He was a little weary.
One of the demonstrations was to put out a grill fire. I was glad to learn about this because this could so happen at any time!
This was some serious business...Eliot was all.over.it!
The most fun part of the day was operating the actual hose. All of our kids would have stayed here the entire time.
Such concentration from Eli...tongue even hanging out!
Go Emery!
