Fire Department Field Trip



As most of you know...my husband is on the local Volunteer Fire Department. And this week and last, we have been learning about our community helpers. And since today just happened to be a rainy day here in TN, my husband was hanging out at the Fire Dept. So as we were doing school this morning, he called and I was in the middle of our lesson and I said "hey! how long you gonna be at the Fire Hall?" (yes, I do talk like that. Scary isn't it...that I'm now teaching my children)
So I loaded the children in the car and we headed off on a field trip. Now, keep in mind that this is not the first time they've been to the Fire Hall. My son is there almost every weekend. But this is the first time we've actually taken the time to go over the trucks and talk about all their equipment!!




 he loves to sit in the trucks!
 this is a different view for daddy...usually he's driving!
 trying on the turn-out gear!

 We love that daddy is a firefighter!!
 
Then we talked about fire and what it needs to keep burning...and what happens when you take those things away...




I'd say that brightened our rainy day!

  1. That is so cool! We have a fire house down the road from us and I've always wondered if I could take my 2 year old son there.
