Anna's preschool visited the fire station today. What a cool trip. I had NO idea that fire stations do so much! Our smaller hometown station is nice, but this trip was a lot more educational for the kids and really reinforced Fire Safety week. The firemen went all out! There was a magic show and 2 puppet show skits. The kids got to meet Sparky the dog and get a group picture. They also got to shoot the water at the bucket. FUN! They also slid down a pole, see the uniforms and talk a lot about safety, fire escape plans, etc. One firefighter was even a ventriloquist in the puppet show. Very cool. The magic show even revealed a REAL rabbit at the end. The men were very kind to the girls (we have an all girl class) and really like this part of the job. Fun trip. Anna was STOP, DROPPING AND ROLLING all night after supper! We even knew a couple of the firemen, so Anna thought that was really neat.
