Jonathan has been begging for a week to go to the fire station and so today we finally went. We actually went to the station three times, but the first two times the firetruck was out. Well, third time is a charm, and a charm it was! Jonathan got the grand tour of the fire station. Firefighter Paul was awesome!!! He took us inside the station, showed us the sleeping quarters, the living room and kitchen, and then took Jonathan on the ride of his life. Firefighter Paul explained everything about the truck, inside and out, and I was amazed at how much information Jonathan already knew about all the equipment. Jonathan got to ride in the fire truck and help pull it out of the station, then Firefighter Paul unreeled the hose for Jonathan to spray the water. Jonathan then got to sit in the driver's seat with flashing lights and blow the horn.(Through all the excitement HannahKate just stared.) Firefighter Paul also showed Jonathan the obstacle course that one must pass to become a real fire fighter, and Jonathan was sure that he could do it! Let me tell you, Jonathan is so excited about becoming a Jr. Firefighter when he is 16. We'll see if the interest last that long, but right now it is a true fascination.
How fun! That looks like a blast! I CAN'T WAIT TO HAVE A SON!!!!
