The same week that we started swim, I also enrolled H in the Edmond Fire Safety Village that our local fire station puts on. They have built this amazing complex that allows kids to learn the basics of what to do in an emergency! Thankfully we had a few buddies that were enrolled with us so H was PUMPED!!!
Since weren't allowed to stay and watch (and I had a tired little guy to put down for a nap), I really don't know WHAT they did. When I asked her about it, all I got was "popcorn, movies and juice." Well worth the $20! Not prompted, I got a little more out of H of what she learned and that she truly had a blast.
She even got this really cool t-shirt that she can grow into!
We were supposed to go back that Friday of the same week of her two days of classes, but the June Oklahoma weather rained us out.
Today was the day we got to go back so she could show us what she learned for the Safety Challenge. Can you see her expression as she is looking up at the fireman? Ha!
They laid down on the mats until they heard the alarm...
got up to run through the bounce house...
ran to put on helmets and bike to the stop sign...
run around the corner to shoot water through the hose at the cones to knock it down...
then used the tool (not toy) to knock the block from one side to the other...
to crawl through the tunnel...
to go help Rescue Randy and pull him to safety.
I was exhausted trying to keep up with them! Probably because I had this cutie on my hip since he couldn't participate in the challenge. We found a school bus for him to pose in front of.
but he was more interested in rescuing Randy.
H completed her challenge and was able to put on firemen's gear!
Of course, we had to have a few more turns on the bounce house.
One of the firemen was really nice to get out a truck for the kids. We were on our way out when he told us he was getting the truck so we got a private viewing. They were pretty excited!!
