Fire Station Open House....We're there!

When I drove by one of Auburn's fire stations the other day, I saw that they were having an open house. But I decided that I shouldn't tell the boys until right before we left, just in case "3D" decided to come a few days early. So, since no baby yet....we went to the open house on Saturday. It was a LOT of fun and the boys had a blast. Henry did NOT want to come home and completely freaked out in the car....it could have been that he was very tired too, but he really enjoyed the fire engines, and kept making the siren noises the whole time that we were there. I think that the fire fighters thought that it was pretty amusing. Here are a few pictures to show you how much fun we had!

Here the boys in front of Engine #3...a relatively new engine (about 2-3 years old), that replaced one that was over 20 years old.....

Here Paul is sitting in the driver's seat of the Fire and Rescue truck. It is a little older, but had lots of cool things in it. The fire fighter told us that this truck was equipped with air bags contained on the side that could inflate to lift up a tractor trailer that might have tipped over....how crazy is that?? Also, that they make about 4,000 calls a year. They are the first to respond to the scene of an accident and always have an EMT on board, with full life support services inside the truck. It was really impressive....thank you to fire fighters across the country!!!

Here is Henry in Engine #3.....he loved it, and wanted to push ALL the buttons!! What a curious little monkey he is....love him! We will let you know when "3D" arrives, but until then, have a great week!!
