Yesterday, The Crawdaddy's, The McFriend's and The Freshflower's got the priviledge of touring the Jackson Fire Department. Big Daddy B and Grandma Freshflower made guest appearances :)
I was impressed by the kindness and quality of the firemen. They were patient with all nine of our children ranging from 5 months to 6 years old. They answered all the kids questions and let them thoroughly enjoy the fire engine and the ambulance. They got to see where the firemen eat, sleep and hang out during the night. Peanut asked if she could slide down the fire pole :) (she was not allowed to though) Little Bub loved the trucks.
One of the McFriend's kiddos, McBrother, came dressed to play the part. He said he wanted to be a fireman when he grows up. McSiddy BooBoo McFriend stayed at home with grandma and missed the festivities.
The Crawdaddy Kiddos drew the firemen pictures to hang on their fridge. Ezzo was just smiling the whole time. Everytime I aimed the camera his way he gave me a big smile :) Marco was taking every second in. He seemed to really enjoy the fire station.
All the kids came with questions to ask the firemen. It was so cute to watch them ask their question and see how intently they listened to the answer.

Cute pics! Thank you SO much for inviting us. The boys are always telling me we should do more activities with our friends. And the firefighters really were so accomodating. We had a great time! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing your pictures, they turned out great! We had a blast too and the kids are still talking about how much fun they had!
ReplyDeleteYay for homeschooling!
ReplyDeletebecause you can't do this kinda cool stuff with your kids when they are at school 8 hours a day. you might get to hear a snippet about it later from them after school, but you would have missed out on being there and experiencing it with them.
You are such a dedicated mom and wife, and i love the home you have made for them, when i grow up i wanna be like you!
