Our trip to the fire station!

Our town just got a brand spanking new fire station and our MOMS Club was the first group to tour it! I took Ben and Sam there today since Will was in school. Ben was scared and cried and I had to work hard to get him in the door (no big surprise there). He would not let me take any pictures of him, but I got some cute shots of Sam on the fire engine and wearing the fireman's boots. Benny did warm up to the whole thing eventually and was interested in seeing thier rec room, where the firemen hang out on these lazy boys that are all lined up. The kitchen is right off the rec room and houses 4 big stainless steel refriderators and a HUGE Viking stove. They said that they have to spend their own money on the t.v. They have a fund that they all contribute to for things like that. They do have some sort of an allowance for food but it only covers the basics. Things like ketchup and other condiments they have to buy. The things ya learn!

Anyway, the kids had fun. Sam enjoyed playing with the excersize ball in thier gym and Ben was excited about the pencils that the fireman handed out afterwards.
