When I grow up

On Thursday morning I took the kids to the 2450 park. They played in the sand and on the play ground while I studied. The park shares a parking lot with the fire station. While the kids were playing a couple fire trucks pulled in. One parked in one of the stalls and the other truck parked outside. When it was time to leave Konner wanted to just look at the BIG fire truck. We were admiring all the gages when a super nice, older gentleman, came out. He opened the doors, let Konner climb in and check everything out. He explained what all the equipment does and dressed Konner in his fire jacket and helmet. It was such an awesome experience for Konner. He told Konner to stop by the station by the college and he could have a tour of the ladder truck and he could get a fire helmet of his own.  That man made Konners day. I am so grateful that he took the time out of his busy day to show the kids how important fire men are! When we were leaving Konner said "Mom, if I can't be a bull rider... I wanna be a FIRE MAN!"

Explaining why the helmet is shaped weird in the back and what the eye shield does.

The door has a reflector in it, like a mirror. 

Zayd really didn't think it was THAT cool. haha

The next cover for the fireman calendar! :)
