Firetrucks & A Party

We had a busy, but fun, weekend. Friday night we made our way to our village's Fire Prevention Week Kick-off event. Firetrucks, ambulances, dive teams, hazardous material units from around our area gather together so kids can tour all of the vehicles. The Flight for life helicopter even flies in and lands in the parking lot..how exciting! We had planned on meeting friends there but it was almost impossible to find them with all of the people there.

OH, yes, they had the "Survive Alive" house for the kids to enjoy.... (cough, cough)
We finally found our friends....they have a little boy (Ben) who's really into the "fireman" thing. He wore his own fireman coat....his Dad said " we wouldn't miss this event...it's like going to the world series for him." Here's Ben, his sister Elise, and Anna posing in one of the trucks.
Our older boys found some friends to hang out with too...aren't they cute!! Did I mention that the temperatures on Friday night were in the 30's?? Brrrrr... and they ran out of hot chocolate at the event.....Grrrrrr.
We also did this for Anna's birthday party on Sunday......more on this tomorrow.....
