First they talked to us about fire safety. You know the basics don't play with matches, have a smoke detector. Have a special meeting place. Have family fire drills...
Then Firefighter Shawn got all dressed for us and we got to hear him breath like Darth Vader. The idea was that if there was a fire and the kids saw this man approach them they would freak, now they have had some exposure and know that he is a safe person.
Then they let the kids get up on top of the fire truck. This was the first time Ben has actually gotten on a vehicle that he thought was cool. Usually he just likes the idea of them, but the actual thing freaks him out.
Jacob came along too, but wouldn't look at the camera because he was so interested in another fire truck.
Then get this...the people who were just talking to us about safety...took us for a ride around town. I had to duck at times because I thought my head was going to hit low branches and telephone lines. I am sure they were nowhere close, but they sure felt like they were.
Finally, Ben and Jacob got to get inside the truck and try out the wheel etc...

i could just die with how cute those two boys are - fascinated so much in trucks and other manly things. this field trip looks like fun! Lauren you look great!
All I can say, is Wow! Waht a great day for Ben and Jacob.
OH no, that sounds like alot of fun. Yea, that is really silly of them. take the kids on a completely unsafe, on the roof of the firetruck ride. weird . . .weird but fun.
The firefighters visited our playgroup we used to go to also and did the same kind of demonstration. Ella refused to look the first time (at the man dressed up) but the second time she was brave enough to.
I would've been the party pooper mother who didn't allow my children to ride!
How fun! I love how Ben is beaming in each picture.
Doesn't the face mask look like a proboscis?
every little boys dream... I bet they had tons of fun!
