A Day at the Fire Station

We went on a field trip for Maya's preschool to the Mapleton Fire Station the other day. Fireman Darryl told us that if we were on fire, we needed to stop, drop, and roll, and if we were in a building that was on fire, we needed to get out and stay out- said while patting our hands on our knees- get out, stay out, get out, stay out.
All of the children got a turn trying on the fire suits, including the boots and hat. After they all had a turn trying on the uniform, he took us for a ride in the fire engine around the block. He blew the horn and sounded the siren. The kids LOVE it and because they were SO good, they each got their very own fire hat.

That's great. I laughed because we just went and did the same thing for our Joy School. And the guy put on the same clothes and the kids were scared ha!

I can't believe how grown up Maya looks. She's adorable! I loved talking to you the other day even though it was short. I think about you often and I'm so glad things are going well for you and your family! Lots of love from Henderson!
