Field Trip Day








Conner's preschool had a field trip today to the fire station. He was SO excited to be going! The firemen are all so nice and friendly to the group of 20 two & three year olds.

At first Conner was a little shy and didn't want to talk to the firemen. He stood looking with those big blue eyes in total amazement of it all. The firemen all came up to the kids and got down on their level to talk to them and told them all about the trucks and how to drop & roll. Then this fireman came out in the FULL fire outfit with the mask and all. He sounded like Darth Vader breathing. They were all a little scared of him but he also got
down on their level and let them all touch his outfit and he talked to them through the mask before he took it off to show them he was a normal person and not to be afraid if he came in their home to put out a fire.

This was the closest that Conner would get to him!>




Then they let the kids look at the fire truck and actually get up into the front seat!






All the kids had a great time!

Oh, I can just imagine Conner's eyes when he was looking at the firemen!!! I love the picture of him standing between the two tires. He looks so tiny there! I only wish the pictures on your blog were bigger! They're so small!!!

That's a neat thing how they did the full gear thing. Very smart thing to do!
