Firehouse

(I love this picture of little Suzanna sucking her thumb, wearing pink- contrasting with the big tough fireman dressed in his gear behind her. )

One of the moms in my preschool co-op planned a tour of the Firehouse near her home on Wednesday, our normal preschool day. Greg and Kelli and the kids came along and it was such a fun and interesting learning experience. The firefighters were so kind and sweet to the kids, not to mention patient! The kids favorite seemed to be the ambulance bus that can hold about 20 injured people; they got to go on board, and lay on the stretchers and "drive" too. I liked when they hooked up the brand new truck to the fire hydrant and shot water a mile high. It was good to meet some "hometown heroes" and thank them for their work for our community.
