Hump Day, Fire Prevention Continues

Wow, look. Another week is halfway over! I cannot believe it. No wait, that means that if you are reading this that you have had a post a day so far. Man, I must really take advantage of nap time mroe often. Anyway, here are some more pictures from our trip to the Fire Station.

 She noticed that there was stuff behind her...

 She was sad because we wouldn't let her wear the fire helmet, I was afraid it would crush her. It was even heavier than the coat.

This seal was on the floor on our way into the Fire Station. I wanted her to stand by it, she wanted to sit on it. I don't mind that she isn't looking at me, she is looking at the fire chiefs wife. I believe they got a better picture.
I cannot thank them enough for hosting this open house. I am hoping to do this again every year, and see her face light up as much as it did this year.

Hope you are having a super week! Don't forget to check or get your fire extinguisher checked!

Fire Prevention Week continues

So, now that Columbus Day is over, we are back to Fire Prevention Week. Here are some more pictures of Makayla from our visit to the Fire Station. I think the best part of it was that the kids were allowed, no wait, encouraged to climb on into the fire trucks. They had the batteries of them turned off so we didn't have to worry about any accidents, and as I was talking to some of the firemen, it will be fun when they actually turn them back on to see what will happen. I am glad I wasn't there for that! Anyway, Makayla loved to be able to go into the driver seat and drive the trucks. She kept telling me how they were stuck!

I love this last picture. She is so serious! One of the firemen noted how she would be perfect for a job as an engineer because of how serious her face is here.

Happy Tuesday! Don't forget to check your smoke detectors!

Fire Prevention Week

 

This week at Makayla's Day Care is Fire Prevention Week. They have awesome activities lined up, so I thought it was awesome that our local Fire Department had an open house yesterday. I ended up keeping 14 of the photos I took, I took what feels like a ton. I thought I would share a little bit all week in honor of Fire Prevention Week.

 

 

Thank you Palmer Municipal Fire Department for hosting this open house!

 When we got to the firehouse, we were encouraged to tour the facility. It is really nice, and they had tables set up to help yourself to one of almost every possible fire safety brochure out there. Makayla even picked out her hat to wear!



Part of the tour included looking at the firemen gear, and they even allowed you to try it on! Makayla couldn't wait, and was a trooper. Even though the coat weighed more than her!


 

She was so excited to be able to sit in EVERY.SINGLE fire truck as many times as she wanted. This was our first stop. This was before she realized she was allowed to "steer" them.

 

 

The worse part of the day was when we were leaving. Makayla didn't want to leave and she was tired, so she cried. Even the fire dog couldn't cheer her up! Stayed tuned for more pictures!

 

In the meantime, today is Columbus Day and Makayla and her cousin Shae are currently in the bathtub getting cleaned up to go on some mischievous adventures. No, not really, I am hoping to go to a Pumpkin Patch with them today. I will take my camera and make sure to take pictures! I hope you have a great Monday, it's chilly so bundle up!
