Brian went on his first school field trip today! (Mommy got to go too since she was one of the drivers.) Since the kids are studying fire safety this week, the 3 and 4 yr old preschool classes went to tour the La Grange Fire Station. Yes, this is the same fire house that we visited on Saturday, but today we got the FULL tour! Firefighter Chris, Firefighter Dan , Firefighter Brian and Firefighter Craig gave us a great tour starting with their living quarters on the upper floor.
Our tour guides gave us a lot of very important information today. Firefighter Dan demonstrated how he puts all of his equipment on and let me tell you......it is heavy stuff! Can you imagine carrying 70 pounds of equipment around with you just to go do your job????? Fireman Dan also reminded everyone that even though a firefighter might look a little scary when they have on their mask, they are there to help so we should never hide under the bed or in the closet.
It wouldn't seem like a fire station if it didn't have a fire pole! Even though Brian is in the Monday, Wednesday & Friday pre school class, almost all of his classmates were able to come today. We joined up with the kids in the Tuesday & Thursday class and all had a really great time!
