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.

That looks like so muchfun. I think you inspired me to take me little playgroup/preschool on a fun fieldtrip.
Thanks also for going to lunch yesterday. It was fun to talk with you. We need to do it more often.
Also, thanks for the Thank you and the gift certificate. You guys didn't need to do that. We are glad we were able to help you out. If you ever need anything else let us know. :)

I didn't know Justin is a firefighter. That's great that you guys all live so close to each other.
