Friday's Firehouse Field Trip

Our homeschool group checked out a local fire station yesterday.  

I think the last time Noah visited one he was only 4 years old, maybe?  Been awhile!

Fireman tid-bit .... all that gear weighs about 60 lbs.  And they get it all on in less than two minutes.   

 

Check out Noah wiggling his loose tooth.  He got that bad boy out later on in the day. :D

 

These guys were so comfortable with all our kiddos.  And I have to brag, all our kiddos were so well-behaved.  

 

Noah did this part twice.  I loved how long this guy would let them sit there and chat with him one-on-one.

 

Checkin' out the spray nozzles for the hoses.  You would be surprised at how HEAVY they were!

 

Noah asked him about the axes, so he pulled those and a few other tools out, too.  These firemen were so sweet to the kids. Fun tid-bit here:  This particular fireman was homeschooled, too! :D

 

Good day!

 

If you ask Noah, it was a GREAT day.  Next we hit the park with friends, then lunch out, then he got to play DS while I ran several errands, then we hit the car wash (he loves those still), then he pulled his tooth, and THEN he got to spend some of his report card money on a giant toy airplane, and then we went to have chili for dinner with friends, and then stayed out way past bedtime romping around after dark making smores over a fire.  A Friday well spent!!
