Every year the Fire Station that is just down the street from us does an open house. It is SO nice of them to open up the Fire Station and trucks for the kids to explore, provide a small lunch (hamburgers and hot dogs, which are donated by a local company, but they grill them), a ride on an antique fire truck, an obstacle course, and this year the backup Flight for Life Helicopter came as well (we live by a big field too so it was the perfect landing zone. They weren't able to go inside, but had fun looking inside and to see a helicopter up close.) Delcan was VERY excited about the "airplane" when he first saw it coming in. He loves pointing out the airplanes when we are outside when he hears them.
It was SUCH a beautful, warm day! Corin had this silly walk where he would sort-of hunch over and stick out his butt and swing his arms!
The obstacle course, which we did mulitple times!
They crawled under smoke (the gray tarp), shot a fire hose and drag a person to safety (made out of fire hose and where in different sizes for different age kiddos)
Ride on the antique Fire truck! Declan was NOT happy when the ride was over and we had to get off.
Watching the helicopter coming in to land.
Told the boys I NEVER wanted them to ride in one of these helicopters!
It was a funfilled afternoon. Declan needed a ride home because he was so tired!
Oh, I wish Collin could have been to the fire station this year....he LOVES firetrucks....thanks for sharing such fun pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been SO much fun if you guys where here to come with us. Next time you plan a trip to come out in the summer, you can plan it around the Fire Station open house =0) they have it every year and it seems to be the first or second Sat. in May. Corin still enjoys it.
