Fire Station Play Date

Before school started up again, I took the kids bowling along w/ their friend Conner. Bowling is always a fun past time with my kids! Afterward, we made an impromptu stop at the Fire Station to visit Dad. We got more than we anticipated during that visit!

Jason thought it would be fun to give the kids a ride in the fire truck. He buckled them in and drove them around the block. What a treat! (I have no photos since I was in the truck too). When we got back, Jason parked the ladder truck in the driveway and raised the ladder for the kids. They thought that was pretty cool. But that's not all:



He asked the kids who wanted to climb UP the ladder!! WHAT?! Blake was our first volunteer. Each of the kids took a turn after. So did Mom.

This was an extra fun visit to the fire station. A couple weeks later, Jason transferred from this station (44) to the station closest to our house(42). It is bittersweet because he's always had a desire to be at station 42, but his home has been at station 44 for about 10 years.
