Visit to the Firestation.

If you remember a while back Chance and I went to the fire station with the Metairie Moms group. That fire station was out in Jefferson Parish so this time I organized a visit to a fire station right here in New Orleans for our own group. The fire station itself pretty much just looks like a house except it has three big garages and no front door otherwise it fits perfectly into the residential neighborhood where it is located.


All the kids had a great time climbing all over the fire trucks. The firemen were very nice answering any questions we had and playing with the little ones. They opened up both their ladder truck and their pumper truck for everyone to look inside and climb around in. Everyone got a junior fireman's hat and all the parents got lots of fire safety information. Chance liked to drive the fire engine. He sat in the front seat with his hat on trying to turn the big steering wheel. Everyone tried to push all the buttons, and there are a lot of buttons, they must not work unless the key is in or something because no one ever made the ladder go up or the siren turn on.

He's almost the size of the tire

The firemen even invited our group back in the summer, when they turn on the fire hydrant and let the neighborhood kids play in the water. So we will be back in a few months to play in the water with the firefighters.
