Fire Station

On Monday night, I ventured over to the North Ogden Fire Station for the annual open house. I had to invite my friend Robli or I would have been outnumbered 3 to 1. I was so happy to have her there. We were able to ride in the front seat of a fire truck and the back of an ambulance. The kids watched as I put out a fire using a fire extinguisher. Michael was able to use the fire hose connected to a hydrant. Did I mention that when he grows up he wants to be a fire fighter? The kids were able to slide down the fire pole half way, well as far as Robli could lift them. We had hot dogs and water and COOKIES for dinner. Michael was able to get a CD Rom with Fire Safety tips and games for him to play. There was a smoke hallway, we had to crawl underneath the smoke and towards the end there was a "dummy" with a scary mask on, the kids were so scared of it I had to drag them out and past it. Luckily, Melanie is little enough to drag and the firefighter that was helping supervise covered the face so Michael was easier to get out. He is getting to big to drag around. We had a wonderful time and wish Dustin was able to join us, but we were blessed to have extra hands to help keep track of my little runners. Thanks to all the fire fighters who helped put that on, it was a fun enjoyable evening.
