We just took a trip to see an old family friend at fire station #1 in St. Paul this week. Its been at least three years since we last visited him because he has only meet Haylee. It was a huge, new, and beautiful building. He will be moving to another station so I think we will go visit him again because the girls loved it so much. It was a lot of work with the four of them though. Constantly moving and checking out how cool everything was. First timers had me moving.
It was a busy day at their fire station when we were there. At one point all the trucks were gone on calls and we were chilling in the kitchen enjoying snack time.
This is them watching a fire truck pull back into the station.
Our friend Greg drives the ladder truck. Its a beautiful new rig that he will take with him to the next fire station when he relocates.
The girls really wanted to go down this from the second floor but I guess someone unexperienced just broke their leg doing it so Greg said they could just climb up it.
My girls loving on a "pup-pup."
I told the girls today that they may get red fireman hats. They didn't have any but they didn't know what they were missing. They were very happy and content with stickers, color crayons and a coloring sheet Greg gave them. They all were coloring on the way home.
I'm not sure if just anyone can get a tour of a fire station. We have always known someone who works at one but I'll look into that. Thank you Greg for the tour.
