A trip to the firestation

A friend of mine from church arranged for a tour of the local firestation & invited us to go along. I took Allie & Brooke with me. Every once in a while, Allie gets really nervous about her surroundings & gets clingy real fast. This was one of those occasions. The firemen did a great job talking to the kids about fire safety, they showed a video & then let the kids get a tour of the trucks. Allie wasn't quite sure about what was going to happen, so she stayed near the back of the pack most of the time. I think she did enjoy it cause she told her dad & sisters all about it later that night.


Getting a close look where the firefighters sit while riding to a fire


The "Jaws of Life"--Allie seemed to be feeling a little more comfortable or was really interested in what was being shown. She's a little closer to the front


The firefighters wanted the kids to know that even though the uniforms looked scary, they were still nice men & would help them if they were caught in a fire.


Allie was nervous to stand by the firetruck by herself, but I got one picture of her there before the tears started to form.

We made it through the tour. Good job, Allie! Thank you to our local firefighters!!
