On Saturday, I took the boys to the Fridely Fire Department. They were holding an open house from 11 -3 p.m. We went and saw numerous red fire trucks. Both boys were able to sit inside the cabs. We also got to take a ride on a refurbished white fire truck that is used in parades around the city. That was a fun ride! The sirens blared while we rode around a few blocks in the back of the truck. There was a police car and rescue boat to check out. A firehose to shoot water at a fake burning house. A demonstration of some fireman tools. And a ladder truck offering rides in the ladder bucket. Jonathan wasn't interested in that at all. Oh and there was more. A bulldozer which Jonathan climbed up on and got to sit in. Also, a bouncy fire house that the boys really enjoyed. We had a blast. It was a great day! We also took home some souvenirs...silver fireman sticker badges and kid size work aprons from Home Depot along with tool boxes to make.
