Out of the Mouths of Kids II

So, I'm standing in the kitchen checking my email and the kids are in the living room fighting over something (what's new!!!) and Zoe starts yelling as load as she can. Then I hear Izaac say in a very calm voice "You really need to get out of the house", and Zoe starts yelling again. Once again Izaac says, "You really need to get out of the house, Zoe", so she goes outside to yell. Sometimes I wonder what is really going through those little brains.

A Trip to the Fire Station

On Wednesday, August 1st our MOMS Club took a trip to one of Flagstaff's great fire houses. The fireman gave a good presentation about "Tools & Toys", "Stop, Drop, & Roll", and how to call 911. Although the kids are still a little young to understand, they had a good time. After his presentation, the fireman put on ALL of his gear: pants, coat, helmet, and oxygen mask. Izaac and Cameron were okay with all the gear until he put on the oxygen mask, then he was "scary".

Next, everyone got to go out and look at the fire trucks. We got to climb through the back where the firepeople sit

and we even got to sit in the drivers seat!!!

After all the "driving" everyone got a chance to spray the fire hoses.

And then we got to splash in the puddles we made with some of our friends.

And to end the perfect day...just as we were finishing up with our tour, the firemen got a call and had to leave. So we sent them off with a great big thank you and wave and they drove away with light on and sirens blaring.
