Fire Station Tour

Yesterday I took the kids on a tour of the Fire Station in Arlington. We went with a group from MOPS. Trevor had a blast! The kids got to see and touch everything. The captain told the kids that if they broke something or moved it out of place that was okay because they could fix it after the kids left. Now that is Trevor's kind of place. They got to go on the ambulance and fire truck. Trevor loved playing in the work out area. Especially the treadmill, since mommy doesn't let him touch hers. :) Even though the captain said the kids could touch everything, I had to stop Trevor when he went to the giant exhaust hose hanging from the ceiling and put his face in it yelling "hello, anyone there?" It looked just like the ones at the Children's Museum. Why is it always my kid doing these silly things? Of course it makes good stories for blog land! At the end of the tour the kids watched the fire truck drive away, then come back with the lights and sirens on! Today I got a call from the fire dept. and they forgot to give the kids their fire hats and coloring books, so they came by in an ambulance to deliver the stuff to us. Trevor thought it was pretty cool for the ambulance to come to our house. Just like last time he said. Only this time it wasn't because Trevor was sick. He got to tour the ambulance again in front of our house. The girls hang out in their stroller the whole time. I tried to get them to nap, but of course there was too much excitement. They napped well when we got home though.
