Fire Station Field Trip
Our MOPS group went on a field trip to one of the local fire stations, and of course, we had to go. Josiah loves all things fire engine and firefighter, and there were a lot of other kids in our MOPS group that do also, as you can see.
First, they demonstrated the firefighters’ uniform. This really freaked Josiah out, and he clung to me and he kept asking to go home. Then, they taught a bunch of 1-4 year olds about smoke detectors.
During this time, the station received two emergency calls and all but one firefighter and the teaching lady left, leaving a lot of kids in a small room for a good while. Thankfully, one of the teams got back to the station and we were able to tour the rest of the station and, of course, get in the truck. Josiah patiently waited in line.
As we were attempting to put all the kids on the front of the truck to take a group picture, they got another call. Kids were promptly removed by hurried firefighters and they drove off. It was a little nuts, but Josiah had a great time.

Rachel, cute pics! You should see the ones I have of Taylor…some are pretty funny because she was NOT wanting to be there at all and she fell asleep at 11:30 (right when we got home). Crazy! Maybe we’ll try that again in a few years…

That’s like a dream come true for that kid. I’m happy for him.
Hey (Supercinski) people. I’m in town through Wednesday or Thursday. I want to reunite.
