Fire Safety 101

Here is Lacy sporting her fire hat from her first preschool field trip! I was a helping parent and Ashley and I went along on the field trip and also took one of Lacy's classmates in our car. The girls were so excited to go together in our van. It was so cute! The field trip was fun for all and the men at the station had a lot more prepared for the preschoolers than I thought they would. They learned a lot about fire safety and really enjoyed themselves! On our way back to preschool, the little girl we took said "knock, knock" So...I replied "who's there?" And she said "fire station" Me: "fire station who?" And that sweet little thing said "fire station...YAY!!" Cute:) OH..and Thanks Jenn for loaning me your camera!!!

Below a fireman was asking the girls what they were supposed to do when they reached a door. Lacy just sat there with that glazed smile, hoping that could be the answer. Of course at home she rambles on and on and on about it, just froze in the moment!

Below, a daddy from our mommy group was so sweetly helping all the kids out of the fire engine. Lacy freaks out in Lacy fashion and I could hear her yell from across the room "NO!"(Teacher Amanda scooped her down after that and yes, we had a chat about that later! Sorry Andy!)

Yes, even Ashley was along for the field trip. She enjoyed it, but it made it VERY hard for mommy to take photos with a new and bold walker on the lose:)

I really wanted to get a photo of each child in class taking their turn shooting the fire hose, but there were a lot us parents attempting to snap away AND Ashley was all over the place. I eventually had her sit down next to me. All of the sudden I hear this sound and I knew it was not a sound that I should be hearing...SPLASH, SPLASH. Yeah, all that water from the hose had drained down right to us and with my face in the camera I did not notice it. Ashley did and was happily splashing away in the MASSIVE stream of water. Yep....soaked! :) Click on the photo to see it larger, in the top row, the kids watching are quite cute!
