We went for a early evening walk and as usual we stopped to stare at the fire engine. We usually admire her longingly through the garage door windows but today she was being attended to by Christian, the best fireman ever. Her lights were on and that was very exciting. When he saw us drooling from across the street he invited us over. He spent about 25 minutes with the boys, he let them spray the hose, drive the truck, look all around touch all kinds of buttons and then he gave them little gift bags. CH got so excited when he got his gift bag he raised his arms and screamed..."OH YEAH!!!"
BLISS! I could not stop smiling seeing how happy they were!
If the thought of those two driving anything/anywhere does not frighten you, nothing will!
CH was so worked up when we left he downed his milk(think college beer chug) and his little hands and arms were shaking!
He reminds me of Rose on the front of the Titanic!
Every little boy's dream! They look like they think they are really driving the fire truck! I was wondering how they got so "close up and personal" with the fireman. Precious. Love the new additions to your blog! You "fancied" it up. Thanks for keeping the blog updated weekly. I love, love, love it.
ReplyDeleteLove the new look and new name. I'm so jealous of your fire brigade visit. They have an open house once a year and we had planned to go last time. But it was a beautiful day and the beach was calling so we never made it. My little buddy has never forgiven me for that. EVERY time we drive by (which is like 3x a day) he whines about how he's never been there to check it out. Maybe I'll have to pop in one day and hope that Christian is on duty. ;)
