This past Sunday, we took the boys on a little surprise. We have a relative that works at a fire station as a fire fighter… and was so excited to show them around the station and let them see all the huge trucks.
Hayden had never been at a fire station before…. at least up close. And I knew that he wanted to so he got the first view. Noah was more interested in being inside them then anything else. I’m not sure what was going on in his mind but every time we took him out of a truck, he got upset and just wanted to move on to another one.
This was one of my favorite pictures. Noah wearing Jennifer’s hat. It was too heavy just to let him wear it so it wasn’t actually on his head. But he felt important anyway. Hayden never got the chance to wear the hat because Noah refused to let him go into the truck by himself. I think that was our mistake on letting Noah go in first.
I am happy that Hayden is a patient brother and lets Noah share in his excitement. He wasn’t pushing him out or anything, he just let him hang.
I think Hayden’s favorite part was the ladder truck. Did you know that it takes 2 people to drive the ladder truck? The person in the back has to know how to drive backwards. I don’t know if I could do that! I think it would freak me out! But we did get the chance to watch it leave, which I think was Hayden’s favorite part. Have your kids ever visited a fire station?
