On top of looking at different websites and pinterest for crafty and baking ideas I thought I would look out into the community for fun, free things to do that can be informative and fun at the same time and yesterday took us to the Unified Fire Authority Station #106.
Tre' and I picked up Takoma and Zoey in the morning and off we headed for a surprise visit the the fire station. Upon arrival we met Ryan our tour guide. He welcomed the kiddos and walked them back to the most important part of the whole tour straight away with no thought or trying to bore them with the other stuff, the fire trucks!!!!
Once we got to the fire truck Ryan got down to their level and talked to them about the gear that fire men wear when they are called for help. He pulled out the boots, overalls, coat and hat and explained to them that they should never be scared when they see firemen in their fireman "costumes". When they are in their "costumes" they are there to help people and to make people and kids feel safe. I loved this.
Now for the fire trucks.......Takoma was incredibly shy. I could not believe how shy she was. She usually puts herself out there especially when Tre' is around, not this time Takoma and Zoey switched roles. Here are the pictures of a day in the life of a firefighter..........
Thank you Unified Fire Authority for opening up to us and letting the kids play. I had 3 firefighters of my own yesterday that put out many fires and even saved a few cats :)
Our craft for the afternoon, "jumping cups".
A gift from Hawaii...........
Tre' will be starting swimming lesson on the 28th and in the meantime we are going to have to spend some extra time learning how to use the snorkel. All he wants to see are the fish, and the submarine when we get to Hawaii. Thank you Kyla and we will do uor best to worrk on getting him to use the snorkel. :)
