Fire Station Fun

Saturday I took the kids to the Open House at one of the local fire stations (#2 I believe...).  Gabe took Melia and Kiera last year while I stayed home with Isaac, and the girls (Kiera especially) has been asking to go back ever since!  I hadn't seen the sign, but my friend (Thanks Brooke!) told me about it this week and thankfully we were free to go!

What a great time!  They had several stations set up- I don't think we even hit them all!  But we did build a bird house together (Thanks to Home Depot), the girls practiced calling 911 and answering the questions, we discussed our "emergency exit" plan, I picked up a magnetic 911 board that I can leave on the fridge which has all our information on it, all the kids' faces were painted (I don't think I've ever seen Isaac sit so still!!), we rode on a mini-pumper, climbed in a police car, talked to a K9 officer and met his dog, ate hot dogs, bought a brownie at the bake sale, and spoke with someone about carseats.  WHEW! 

And, to top it all off, Melia won the $25 gift certificate to Fred Meyer drawing!  Wow!
