Family Home Evening at the Fire Station

Two Mondays ago we had the FHE event of Jacob's life. After a lesson and song at home, we drove by the fire station to see if the doors were open so we could peek at the trucks from the comfort of our van. While we were sitting there in our car, with Jacob sharing all the information he knows about what he could see parked inside, a man began walking towards us and Jacob then exclaimed "A fire man!" The fire man invited us to come in and have a look around and he turned on the lights for us and told us about the hoses and many other things. Jacob declared another car in the garage to be the "chief's car" and the raft in there was dubbed a "fire boat." Rebecca had fun saying "hi" to the two firemen we met. After the tour was over and pictures taken, Jacob proudly returned to the car with his new coloring book and fireman hat.

I'm pleased to report that this excursion to visit the fire truck was a marked improvement over Jacob's first trip there in Fall 2008.
