On September 11th we all went over to the open house at the new fire station by our house. They had a memorial for September 11th which included a very emotional speech by the fire chief and a moving performance of God Bless the USA. They also had this guy...
The girls couldn't get enough of Sparky the fire dog!
They made several trips back to see Sparky.
Jane was also SUPER excited to meet a real fireman. He was really nice. She was a bit disappointed he wasn't in his full fire gear but I had to explain that they only wear those in real fires and it was too hot for them to be all dressed up in their outfit. She talked to him a bit about fires and then told him thank you for helping us. It was pretty cute.
They also had a clown making balloon animals for the kids.
They had a helicopter, which Jay thought was pretty cool. We got to see it take off too!
They had all of their fire trucks out and I wanted a picture of the girls with it but Jane outright refused to even touch it. Got me as to why. ALl in all a VERY fun time at the firestation! Even Jena thought it was great fun..

Wow! We were there that day too! But Sophia had a completely different reaction to Sparky. She had a complete panic attack. So no pics. Glad your girls enjoyed it!
So it WAS hot!?!?! I was thinking "poor Sparky" as soon as I saw him/her! Must be a new recruit who got THAT open house duty! The girls are so cute with Sparky, did they mention their last name??? Darling pic of Jena too!
How fun! I sure miss the old hood!
That looks like a great time! Such the teacher--taking the girls to the fire department!
