fire station field trip~

today was our field trip to the fire station with mom school. cullan was super excited. i even found a shirt for him that was on clearance last night that was only a dollar. it had a fire truck on it that lights up. he thought it was also very cool.

so today we all met at one of the local fire stations. the kids seemed to be excited and got to see where the fire men cooked and studied all the streets in our town. then we got to the best part.

THE FIRE TRUCKS!!!

this is cullan standing in front of one of the trucks!

he was very impressed with all their gear and helmets!it was very cute. cullan was really struggling with not being able to touch all the cool things on the fire truck. the temptation was more than he could handle. =)

then one of the firemen put on all the gear and showed the kids what they do when there is a call .

this fireman was very nice. they explained that they had to put on all their gear and that if you ever saw someone in your house dressed like this to not be afraid, but that they were there to help. cullan thought this guy was great, and he was really friendly.

cullan asked to have his picture taken, but i only got him giving the guy a high five. this is another little boy that wanted his picture taken too!

next they got to see a fireman slide down the poll. cullan watched as they did it twice. then he immediately turned to me and said "CULLAN TURN"!! of course they were to small, but they were able to go over and look at it.first look and then of course attempt!

then we were pretty much done. we got a group shot of almost everyone in front of the fire trucks.

all in all it went pretty well. however i was a little disappointed. when i scheduled the field trip they said the kids would be able to get on the trucks, receive hats and coloring books, and would also watch a fire safety video. none of which happened. they would not even turn on the lights for the kids. i guess it does not matter because the kids will never know that they missed anything, but it makes me sad because i know the kids, especially cullan would have loved it. oh well, still a fun field trip!
