Firestation

Here's a little catch-up blogging. It's been about 3 weeks ago that our ward playgroup gathered at the firestation for a little tour. We live right across the street from a firestation and so we hear the sirens loud and clear...day and night....rain or shine...in sickness or in health (ha ha - can you tell that it's not my favorite thing about our apartment). Because of this....Lizzy and Andrew have both become pretty interested in firetrucks and have asked several times when we can go see them.
This rescue squad was so nice and really even seemed to enjoy giving the tour. We saw the training rooms, kitchen, sleeping quarters and the POLE. The pole was the best since they got one of the firemen to slide down it and impress all the kids with this man who appeared out of the ceiling. The most exciting part however was, of course, the fire trucks. These pictures aren't the best, but with 15 or so kids...what'd you expect??

Lizzy got brave enough to give the fireman a hug.

I love this cute picture of Pavlina. She's really lovin' it.

I hate to break it to you but with the hospital up the street, we hear a lot of abulances. Hopefully it doesn't compare to the firestation across the street.

That looks like fun! I think I would take a fire station rather than the train tracks. At our last apt, the trains would shake the whole house! It was very annoying...I feel for ya!

That looks like so much fun.

What a great playgroup idea! The kids really are enjoying that! I'll have to look into our local firestation and see about a tour for our playgroup.
