Tonight, all the local fire departments had open houses to help celebrate Fire Prevention Week. So, after dinner, Sam and I took Banner up to the firehouse just around the corner from our house. As we got there, the fire engine was making its entrance into the big garage - with lights flashing and siren and horn blaring! Banner got a little frightened at first - put his bottom lip out and held tight to Daddy before calming down to see the truck. Perhaps it was a bit of an overload to start the visit with such chaos and loudness! But, nevertheless, it was a really fun evening. As soon as the engine pulled into the garage, the firefighters got called out again immediately! So, we had a whole garage to play in, a whole empty firehouse to explore, and a couple ambulances to sit in. Of course, Sparky stayed behind, along with a couple other firefighters and officers. I think Banner will appreciate this "field trip" more when he is older, but it was nice for Sam and I to participate and see where our local firefighters hang out. (We'd never seen a firehouse before, so it was pretty cool!) It was also a cool experience for Banner to see the trucks, hang out in one of the bunks, get a fire chief sticker, and later (once he was more comfortable and less freaked out) run around the big garage! Take a look at some of our pics from the night!

| Still a little uncertain of this place! |

| Not fond of the sticker, so we put it on his back and got an extra for when he doesn't mind so much! |
