Big Red Firetrucks!

So yesterday we went with Katelynn's preschool to the firestation and then afterwards tried out a new Discovery Place Kids that just opened up (which is the coolest place EVER in case you're wondering.. more pictures to come from there another day!).  Can you believe though that I had a fun-packed day with the kids planned, and I FORGOT my camera!!  Ugh.. I'm so disappointed!  So, I used my crappy phone camera and got at least a few pictures to share.  My friend took some from her camera so maybe I'll have more to share when she sends them to me!

The firestation tour was pretty cool though.  They talked to the kids about fire safety and stressed how much the kids should not be afraid of fireman should they be stuck in a situation where the fireman were trying to save them.  Justin loved the tour (I think more than Katelynn), but he wasn't willing to get down and move away from me for many pictures.  Katelynn (as you will see from the first picture) was paranoid the entire time that they were going to have loud sirens go off that would hurt her ears.  At first, she wouldn't even go in the firetruck because she thought for sure it would make a loud noise!  Silly girl!

Katelynn is in the red dress with black polka dots.. notice how she wouldn't even get up as close as her friends were at first?

Not all of K's class attended this field trip (most of the time a few do not because each child must come with their parent on field trips.  No field trips are bused or anything.)  Katelynn is hiding in front of the two firemen in the middle behind the girl in the pink jacket.

 Justin of course had to investigate the bit of water on the floor of the garage!

 The rest of the pictures are from Discovery KIDS!  They have sooo many fun imaginative play centers for the kids!  I am in love with this place.  This was a real firetruck that Justin LOVED!

 Katelynn tried on the fire gear... it was so heavy that she almost fell over (and her friend DID fall over!)

 I am pretty sure the pretend-play supermarket area was one of the favorites of the day.  It's actually set up just as a real grocery store and the kids walk around and pick stuff up off the shelves and go to the cash register to pay. 

Sadly, this is all I have from my phone.  It doesn't take pictures fast enough and it blurs half of them.  We will be going to Discovery KIDS on a weekly basis so I'm bound to share plenty more pictures from there another day!
