Our multiples club arranges a visit to the local fire hall every year. One of our members husband is a firefighter and takes all the kids and parents on a tour. We passed on it last year because the kids were too little to fully enjoy it. Space is limited for this popular field trip so this year when the invitation came out we jumped on it even-though Claire & Rhys were both pretty sick.

Claire & Rhys love trucks so this was a very fun field trip for all of us!

Highlights include:

– having a demo of a fire fighter put on their gear and listening to the oxygen tank sensor (kids loved this!)

– exploring inside the firetrucks

– wandering around inside the fire-hall

– watching all the kids with excitement in their eyes

– watching a safety video (circa 1970’s)

– the grande finale: fire hats for each kid & watching all the fire-fighters spiral down the fire poles

We had a great time and the kids talked about it for days afterwards 🙂

Claire really wanted to hold the ‘dummies’ hand 🙂

Happy kids!
