We went to a fire station open house this weekend. For as much as we talk about fire fighters we've never been to see a station. When we hear sirens at home or while driving Morgan will always ask where they are going. I say they are going to save somebody and then we say a little prayer that they make it to whoever they need to help in time. It's really sweet and I think it teaches them (because Owen joins in on the prayer too) to think about others and also know how important our public servants are to us.
Needless to say the open house was a blast. You kinda can't beat fire trucks to climb on, ambulances to tour, getting to use the actual hose from a fire truck and free food (hotdogs, tacos, cotton candy and ice cream!!) We met up with some friends from the play group and let the kids run wild. We went to all the "safety stations" they had to set up to help teach kids the importance of water safety, stranger danger, calling 9-1-1, ect. Morgan got to actually call 9-1-1 which was great since we had just been talking about that the week before. She responded exactly how we practiced. Hopefully she'll never need it but it was good to do anyways. The girls got their face painted, all the kids got balloon swords and of course at the end found water to walk through. Perfect family fun day!
Oh and how perfect that Owen just happened to have a fire man rain coat! Several people commented on how adorable it was and he really looks the part, right? Ha!
