Fire House Visit

A fire house opened up down the street from us and they had a fun open house this past weekend. We took the kids to tour the house, meet some firemen and get a "tatoo".
At first Alison was scared...which I knew was coming considering her complete meltdown in the Children's Museum at the Fire Station section.

She warmed up quickly and eventually had a lot of fun.
By the time we got home she was asking when we could go back.
I think it's funny that Alison is either decked out in a dress or naked.
She's a true princess at heart.


I confess that I really enjoyed the trip too.
Turns out that our neighbor and his son are firefighters...there's something very comforting about that.

Are the neighbors some of the ones that put out the deep fryer fire last year? And yes, Alison is a true princess. Have you read her the story "The Princess and the Pea" yet? That one was always my favorite.

Yes, it's the neighbors that saved Kim's backyard. We haven't read "The Princess and the Pea"...we'll have to look for it at the library.
