Field Trip

Yesterday I went on a field trip with Ryan and his preschool friends to the Firestation. I had a blast but as I found out later Ryan didn't want me on the bus or to come a long. What a Schmuck!

They got see the lights on the truck, learn about the tools that the fireman use, walk through the truck, see the hose room where they clean the hoses and see where the fireman stay when they are at work. The Fireman received a call for a car accident while we were there so the kids watched a video on fire safety and then one of the preschoolers grandpas finished the tour. He works there but wasn't on duty at the time. The kids had a blast seeing him go down the fire pole a number of times. ONe little boy kept asking to see the Chief so the Deputy Chief said "come on" and all 36 preschoolers came after him to meet the chief who wasn't entirely ready for the day and had to put his shirt on. The kids thought it was great.

As we were leaving the two firemen who started the tour came back and the kids got to watch them back the truck into the garage.

Ryan and I showed Chris the pictures when he got home and Ryan told his dad all about his trip.
