Firetrucks!!

A couple of weeks ago, we went to see one of Parker's favorite things... a firetruck.  The local fire department came to Sydney and Taylor's school to teach fire safety, so Parker and I decided to make a visit.  What I thought would be a bunch of classes visiting at the same time turned out to surprisingly be just one class at a time.  The kids got to learn in an intimate group about all the different parts of the firetruck and their functions.  Then, they got to go inside a little RV that was set up as a house.  In there, the firemen taught about in-the-home safety (smoke detectors, not to go close to the fireplace or stove, etc.)  Then, they got to learn how to stop, drop, and roll and actually roll on the mats.  Parker joined in with Taylor's class and looked like he fit in (he was even bigger than a couple of pre-Kers!).

Learning to crawl out of the "house". (that's Parker in blue!)

Learning to stop, drop, and roll!

Conveniently, we know that fireman from church!

Giving five to the decked-out fireman.
