Play group at the Fire Station

We have a cute play group in the ward on Wednesday mornings. I'm so glad we have something planned because I'm not always good at doing these things on my own. This tour was amazing. I've been on a few tours at the fire station......but this one was the best by far. After taking the kids around the inside of the fire station, they got to go in the workout room, get their hats and then go outside to see one of the trucks up close. Kids climbed in and out and posed on the back with the fireman. Then they turned on the hose and let the kids spray the water. (a rare treat here in the desert). Next the fireman demonstrated how they take there fire clothes and helmet on and off. Then we got to go inside one of the firestation ambulances and go for a ride around the station. We were definitely spoiled!
Josh is standing by one of his favorite "friends" (Hayley Linford), wink - wink. He's such a cutie all the girls flock to him!


I love Josh's face in this picture. Its such a Joshy look


Apparently I was as excited as the kids to go for a ride! Jared commented that he was glad that I still do these things with the boys even when the novelty has worn off a bit for me. I hope that I always remember to do this. I want all of my children to experience these types of fun things regardless of whether or not they are the oldest of youngest. I love little boys and taking them to fun places that they love!!

Actually, I think it is MORE fun to go with my little guys cuz I don't have a baby to cart around and I can actually enjoy it!!!!! Good for you Geneva! We are taking our pre school trip to the fire station as well...the boys(and I) can't wait!
