The La Grange Fire Station is spotlighting fire safety week by hosting an open house today. Mommy apparently got her information wrong because we got to the open house a little too early. The firemen were very nice in letting us look around the trucks that were outside for awhile before kindly suggesting that we come back in 2 hours. Here are some pictures of the highlights of the open house........once it had officially started!
The boys weren't at all intimidated by the size of the trucks. In fact, Brian acted like he has been crawling around on "Engines" for years!
With all of the excitement going on, Mommy and Daddy were pleasantly surprised at how patient the boys both were while standing in line for the fire hose display. When it was their turn, they got to help the fireman aim the fire hose at a painted display board of a house that was on fire. If they aimed the hose in the right spots.....they put out the fire!
The Fire Chief was on hand and spent a lot of time chatting with the kids as they took turns crawling up into the drivers seat of one of the fire engines. He suggested that when the kids had their picture taken, instead of saying "CHEESE", they should say "CHIEF"! Thank you La Grange Fire Department, you put on a wonderful open house and our entire family had a great time!
