A trip to the fire station

 Recently we traveled with Hannah and her preschool class to the local firestation.  Both the kids and parents learned a lot as we got a tour of the station and some preschool aimed fire safety tips!  Hannah was SO thrilled for this field trip and it was great how they put on all of their gear to show the kids that even though the fire fighters may look a little scary they are there to help.  They wanted to encourage the kids not to hide when they see them if they are stuck in the house and there is a fire.  It was so great. 
 Gotta remember to stay low!  Here is Hannah D.  and to her left is Hannah C.  She is thrilled that she has added another Hannah to her circle of friends and that she has a new name in class that includes the first letter of her last name.  :)


 They were so great with the kids and let them handle most of the equipment (...all of the safe equipment!) along with going inside the firetruck which of course was a HUGE hit!
 Here the twins are hanging out with their friend Jake.  There was enough going on that all 3 stayed pretty content in their strollers!
 Here they were teaching the kids what a smoke detector sounds like.  Notice Hannah is not covering her ears.... maybe I have burnt a few too many cookies! Lol!
So proud to be a Jr. firefighter!  My favorite part of the day was when one of the firefighters pulled out this ginormous tool telling the kiddos how it could break almost anything!  Then he asked who liked to break things and Hannah's hand shot up in the air!  Everyone got a quick giggle out of that since the other kids quietly stood there not wanting to admit they did too!  Way to be honest Hannah!
