Trip to the Fire Station

On Saturday, we went to the Fire Station. Every year in October, the fire house has an open house. Inside, there are a lot of interesting, educational, and fun things to do. This time, we walked to the Fire Station because it's like a block away from home. It's so fun for the kids and very educational for the grown ups. Once again, Joel made a "practice" call to 911, packed a suitcase with the necessities in an event of a wildfire evacuation (this was a timed one), met Smokey the Bear and Sparky the dog, and went to an interactive [and very educational] demonstration about fires. It was just so fun!! Seth was a little shy to do the 911 call but he did packed that suitcase and did very good.

There was this sweet lady making balloons with figures. My kids loved the swords.

They were able to get inside a fire truck. Cool!! Inside the back of a Highway Patrol car.

The best part was that there was this cute and awesome little town that had signs, cross walks, traffic lights, etc. The kids were able to get into these cool looking little white cars and "drive". The kids had to obey the traffic lights.

Waiting for the green light to go. Had to stop and fill it up with expensive gas (lol).

We were there for almost the four hours at the Fire Station. Lots to do and see. There was food too and all for $0.50 (hot dogs, sodas, water, and popcorn). More pictures...

It was a fun Saturday for all of us and we are looking forward to the next year one.
