One of our first friends in our new neighborhood (is it still 'new' a year after moving in?!) is a firefighter and I figured someday Drew would enjoy a firehouse tour. Well this past weekend we made plans to visit him at work and Drew soaked it up, even sporting his fireman jacket!
... however, the first few minutes were as I expected and the picture below perfectly captures that time. He was super inquisitive, but from a distance. Our firefighter friend told us this happens a ton as they are overwhelmed with just how massive the trucks are. I could tell he wanted so badly to get up close but we didn't push him and let him warm up for a bit.

But then, he dove right in. We held axes and hoses and played with hats and jackets. Even Mimi got in on the fun!
After some more front seat driving with his girlfriend Layla, it was off to Chick-Fil-A for a lunch date.
Thanks again Captain Mark for the personal firehouse tour... Drew will be talking about it for weeks!
Aww how fun! He looks so happy!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting for a little boy! I bet he will talk about this for a long time.
ReplyDeleteOh man I'm so jealous! Parker would LOVE that!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Drew holding the hose, it's so cute. It really looks like he enjoyed himself. What a special thing for him. I love it! :)

Omg that first picture!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThe ladder! That is really cool. Cute that he was cautious at first. It is pretty overwhelming.
ReplyDeleteVisiting the fire stations is absolutely the best! Looks like Drew and co. had an awesome little adventure!
ReplyDeleteDude - that is AWESOME. We don't have any firefighter neighbors, but we do have fire house about 2 miles from our house. Maybe we should call and see when they are doing tours. T would LOVE it.
ReplyDeleteThat is so awesome to have someone you know show him around like that! I kinda love how cautious he is but I'm biased with a kiddo who's often the same way. Looks like so much fun!
ReplyDeleteWe've been on quite a few fire station tours, but we've never gotten a ride on the ladder. That is so cool! I would have been right up there too!
