Our playgroup had a field trip to a local firehouse today.  The entire ride Gavin kept asking to go to the Fire Station.  We had quite a group meet at the fire station.  The kids absolutely loved it.  They gave us a tour of the firehouse, then the kids got to get on the ambulance.  I’m sure the highlight of the kids day was when they got to sit in the drivers seat of the fire truck.  While waiting in line Gavin kept asking.. "Gavin drive fire truck?" It was so cute. I’d tell him to wait his turn and he’d repeat me.. "Wait your turn"  He did so well and was so patient waiting until it was his turn to sit in the fire truck.  Then they pulled the fire truck out of the station so they could show all the kids how they raise the ladder. They turned on all the flashing lights and honked the horns.  They couldn’t runt he sirens though because they’re located on a busy street and didn’t want to cause any alarm to the motorists on the street.  Afterward one of the firemen got out his fire suit and showed the kids all the different parts to the gear they wear during a fire. It was a fun afternoon.
