fire station

Our little preschool group went on a field trip to our city's fire station.  The kids were a little shy, but I think they still had fun.

The first thing they did, after introductions and some talking, was dress up in fire suits.

It was cute to see all the kids as little firemen.  Graham, of course, had no interest.

Then the kids got to climb up into one of the fire trucks and make the lights flash and honk the loud horn.  They thought that was great fun.

All except for Graham, who had no interest in doing that either.

Another thing they did was spray out an imaginary fire using a brush rig hose.

Finally, Graham found something that he wasn't too shy to do.

At the end, each kid (even Avery) got a bright yellow cup.

They also got little fireman hats.

We had the kids line up for a picture, but as you can see in the foreground, Graham didn't feel like it.

Before we left, the kids were shown the outside of a few more fire trucks.

When we got home, we used their new cups for lunch, and when we put cold milk in them, they turned green.

I think the kids had a fun time, despite their shyness.
