It's Fire Engine Day!

Hello Friends Around the Planet,

We had Contra Costa's finest here today....Firefighters from Station 13 who brought their fire engine to share with us! We got to see all the tools they use to fight fires from axes to chainsaws. We saw their "turn out gear"....boots already in the pants ready to go in case of a fire and their very long, heavy hoses.

Each friend got to sit in the driver's seat and pretend to drive the fire engine and do a "walk through" where the jump seat is in the cab. This was soooo exciting. The firefighters explained that they keep all their equipment clean, neat and orderly and that things go back exactly where they found them so that the next shift of firefighters could find everything they need in case of a fire!

We had our usual BBQ today, hot dogs, beans, chips, watermelon and milk. This afternoon we have ice cream cups for snack and have chocolate and fudge sauce if you want! :) This is living at it's finest!

Enjoy the pics!

Miss Sue
