I took my kids on a field trip. And it wasn't even a school day.

Our fire department was having an open house today, and since Camden heard about it at school he really really really wanted to go. I caved and took Grace and Camden while Charlie was napping (after a quick stop at Starbucks), because a mom's gotta have her pumpkin spice latte if she's going on a field trip to the fire station.
We were the only ones there at first, and it was actually fun (since I brought my camera). Camden learned some fire safety tips, AND earned a prize for correctly answering "where should you keep matches and lighters?" (after first responding, "in the bathroom" (WTF?, whose kid IS this?) he settled on the correct answer, "up high where kids can't reach") finally, Grace got a fire hat...so OBVIOUSLY it was a good time for all of us.

The crew at E-16 was awesome. Thanks for having us!

  1. Little boys like firetrucks and to see one, plus the firemen, up close I am sure was a special treat for Camden.
    By the way, I DO have matches in my bathroom. I use them to light the candles around my whirlpool tub.
    Great pictures!

  5. OK, so matches and lighters go in the bathroom; do liquor and firearms go in Charlie's toy box? :)
