Fire Station Field Trip

Connor's preschool had a field trip to the fire station on Tuesday. Since Grandma was in town and Landon wasn't feeling well I got to take Connor by myself. We went to the fire station in Hutto, the next town over. Connor got a fireman hat and badge at a birthday party he went to the week before. He was so excited to wear them to the fire station. When we got there his best friend saw that his badge was crooked and straightened it for him. How cute is that picture?
This was pretty funny. The fireman brought out the bucket of stuff they pour on oil and grease fires, kind of like kitty litter. The kids were totally amazed and all had to touch it.
They were able to touch many of the tools on the fire truck. Connor thought the "jaws of life" were pretty cool. We called them "car scissors."
Have you ever wondered how they get their ladders down from the top of the truck?
Connor was pretty wary of the fireman after he put on the mask, but still managed to give him a quick "high five."
Then came the highlight of the day...getting inside of the fire truck!
