We had a fun day two weeks ago. We started the day with a 5K Fun Run our Stake put on. They had a pancake breakfast once we finished and our Fire Station brought a Fire Truck over for an hour and let the kids try on the gear, spray the hose and watch the Firefighters raise the ladder. The boys loved watching but didn't want to get too close. I forgot my camera so didn't get any pictures. Later that day we went down to Qualcomm Stadium. The Burn Institute had a bunch of fun stuff for the boys. There was a fire truck parade that was supposed to be 100 Fire Trucks coming through with their lights and sirens on (it was about 15). There were red, white, green and orange fire trucks and even a vintage one.
There was also a horse drawn one with the Dalmatian on the front. This dog was so funny. He would sit there quietly and then when they started to go he would bark and bark and bark.
There was even a Cal Fire Helicopter that landed in the stadium parking lot that we got to see.
The boys really enjoyed themselves and all the fire trucks. For those who don't know, we live a block from the Fire Station and we hear sirens ALL THE TIME. The boys will hear them and run to the window to watch them pass. Also Zackery's favorite gift from his Birthday was the Fire Truck he got, which the boys are always fighting over. So needless to say the boys love Fire Trucks.
