Visiting the fire station

Our local fire house does an open house every year to teach kids about fire safety and give kids the chance to climb on all of the equipment and explore.  It is a great event and will become an annual event for us to attend!

Sam's favorite attraction was the ambulance and buckling himself into the stretcher...this was NOT our favorite thing since in July 2010, he was raced to the hospital in an ambulance with lights and sirens on.  It brought back some painful memories for us, but thankfully Sam has no recollection of it and he thinks playing in ambulance is tons of fun.

He also loved playing in the police car.  I told him that this was the only time he's ever allowed in the back seat of a police car! I never want to see him in the back seat of a police car again! : )

Sam discovered a fabulous remote control fire truck!
