Fire Station Tour 1/25/13

Last Friday, we were invited on a tour of a firestation. I was so excited to attend. Stephen had the day off and had been wanting to take Finn since a Christmas parade, where he was mesmerized an engine. So we dressed him in his fire truck shirt and got up nice and early to join our friends. It was a fun morning! Lorelai was only slightly interested but Finn was so quiet and attentive the entire time. I was really proud of how behaved he was. We werent using the stroller because it wouldnt have been a convenience there at all. He is usually very much on his own agenda. Not this time, he stood holding our hand and was engaged in the trucks and all the interesting tools the firemen were showing us. Lorelai, on the other hand wanted to do a little running amuck. But all the kids there were under the age of 4, so it wasnt a big worry that she wasnt paying attention. If you ever get invited on a firehouse tour, I definetly recommend it for any preschool ages. The firestation held a lot of interesting things to see and the firemen were very friendly and patient with the kids. They seemed to not mind at all spending their morning with a bunch of tots.
