Firestation

Ethen's class had their first field trip today. A walk to the fire station!
I decided to come when I realized that it would be windy and he probably would only make the half mile trip attached to his teacher. Instead he road in the stroller holding Sam on his lap and covered in a blanket. It took the whole walk for him to calm down.
His class laughed at him and he soaked it all in and started clowning around.
Sam was the only toddler that came so the firemen took special attention to him. He was the only one that got to sit in the firetruck.
After the kids asked them questions about the truck, they pulled out the fire hose and let the kids spray the grass. There was a woman out for her morning run and I teased Ethen that she needed a drink and he should spray her. Luckily (for her) she was too far away.
Then we got to look inside the ambulance. Ethen was a little happy about it.
He had a great time and walked back to the school without any problems. He just needed the distraction of a good time.

Sam was in heaven. He kept grabbing me and saying "Mom look! Firetruck." for about 30 minutes that was all I heard from him. It was a good thing he came along.
