We started off Saturday morning with a visit to the firestation. It was the yearly open house. I was excited and I thought the kids would like it. Siena hated it. She wanted to stay on the sidewalk the whole time and didn't want to go into the sheds where the trucks were. I think she thought they were going to take off with her in them. She happily ate the free cake and popcorn they were handing out and then she wanted to leave. Ben loved it!
obviously Ben loved the dog. He goes crazy whenever he sees a dog.
the firestation with all the trucks out to climb on.
you had to practice stop, drop and roll to get a fire hat. Dave pushed Benny through it the first time, then he wanted to do it himself.
exploring the fire truck.
His favorite part was driving the fire truck. I thought it was so cool to climb around on all the trucks and I was sad the kids didn't like it as much as I hoped. There was this part that had a real fire fighter with a hose hooked up to a hydrant and you could go and squirt out this pretend fire with a real working hose. It was a long line and I didn't think the kids would actually do it. So cool though. So hopefully next year we will be more cooperative.

Sounds like it was a fun day! Great autumn activities!
I can't believe how big Ben is getting! And how much hair he has! These babies of ours aren't really babies anymore. :( Looks like a great day!
Gotta love fire stations! I also totally understand the anti-climactic approach the kids have sometimes...don't they realize how cool the things we do for them are!? I'm glad at least Ben enjoyed it!
Looks like you guys have a future fireman on your hands.
