Fire Safety Fun

This morning we headed to the mall area because some of the local fire departments were gathering for a morning of showing area kids their fire trucks/engines and to teach them about fire safety.  Hootie Hoos 1, 2 & 3 had a blast (Hootie Hoo 4 is still a little too young) getting inside the engines.  I think their FAVORITE activity was this trailer that had been turned into a house...kitchen, bedroom, living area.  They were taught some important fire safety tips like stop, drop and roll; checking to see if doors are safe to exit; staying below the smoke; checking fire alarms once a month; coming up with an evacuation plan; etc.   After they were taught these things, the "house" was filled with "smoke" and they had to apply what they just learned.  Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures from this time because Tobias was a bit too small for this.  So, the two of us went shopping and started getting supplies for Kyrie's 3rd Birthday.

Sitting in the driver's seat...which was in the middle of the truck

She loved being in the driver's seat

Sophie was so excited to be in the State Trooper's patrol car...she wants to be a police officer when she grows up

Trying to keep Kyrie from touching all the buttons...OK, let's be honest..I wanted to push the buttons, too!

Enjoying his time in the patrol car

Wearing her police officer "badge." She was beyond excited!

So very thankful for all the police officers and firemen who risk their lives each day to keep us safe.
