Our Fire Safety Field Trip

We had the opportunity to go on a preschool field trip this week. It was my week to teach and I decided let's go on an adventure! My brother Justin is a firefighter in Salt Lake City, and he kindly allowed us to go on a tour of the firehouse and learn a little about fire safety.
It started out as a little road trip with our little passengers..Jacob, Hunter and Aiden. We were continually reminded to stop talking..they were watching their movie! We arrived with a pretty cool shout out to the "Eagles Gate Preschool" from the dispatcher over the loud speaker, it was pretty cool. We got to see where they eat, sleep, study, Exercise, and of course watch a little T.V.(we found out who get's to hold the remote, my brother of course.)
Here's the kids in front of "Woody the Fire Fighter".We learned about the gear they wear in order to put out a fire, the kids even got a chance to try on the gear too!The kids got the opportunity to get inside the firetruck and sit in the chairs and put on the headphones. They even turned on the air horn and the sirens, it was pretty cool.Hunter got to hold the big Axe.
Afterwards the kids were given their own firebadge, Hat, coloring book and pencil. We had a great time on our field trip..Thanks Uncle Justin.

Thought of the Day!

“I have a testimony gained from pondering and studying the scriptures of a plan of happiness given to us by our Father in Heaven. That plan has a part for His daughters. We have the female half to take care of, and if we don’t do our part, no one else is going to do it for us. The half of our Father’s plan that creates life, that nurtures souls, that promotes growth, that influences everything else was given to us. We can’t delegate it. We can’t pass it off to anyone. It’s ours. We can refuse it, we can deny it, but it’s still our part, and we’re accountable for it. There will come a day when we will all remember what we knew before we were born. We will remember that we fought in a great conflict for this privilege. How do we meet this responsibility? We daily put our energies into the work that is uniquely ours to do.” Sister Julie B. Beck
