fire starter

Paige set up a really fun adventure for the weekly play group. We went on a tour of a local fire station. It was really neat to see how the fire fighters live and work. We were able to see the big fire trucks, and spray the fire hose...
They also let the kids go inside the truck and even sit in the drivers seat. This is Gwen doing the new not smiling act.
Ah yes here it is again. I don't know why she won't smile for the camera. Attitude I guess.
Here are all the kids that came to see the station. And some of the fire fighters that helped us out.
All the kids got shiny gold stickers that look like fire badges, and paper hats that they could take home to color, cut out and wear. It was really interesting and even though the kids didn't really get too much out of it I really enjoyed it. Thanks Paige.

How fun and you got some cute pictures. We went to the fire station a few weeks ago and I forgot my camera. You guys have such fun play groups, looks like Paige is doing a good job.

Wow, can we join your playgroup? The thought had never crossed my mind to bring kids to the fire station, but what an adventure. I think it's worth starting a playgroup just to go to the fire station, I think for us even weekly. My kids love fire trucks lately. I love Gwen's little smoldering poses, what we like to call the quiet face. She knows how to pull it off without looking angry...Have you thought about putting her in show business?

oh and she even got to wear the helmet, how lucky can a girl be? Maybe she won't be terrified of fires now like I was as a young girl. What a fun play group.
