A Trip to the Fire Station

Hayden & Landen love fire trucks! Kathy, Landen's Grandma who both Hayden and Landen spend everyday with, decided to take a trip to the fire station with the boys and asked me if I would like to go with them. I didn't want Hayden experiencing this without me so of course I had to go. I just have a hard time missing out on anything to do with Hayden. (Just a normal mommy thing!) Anyway, the boys made the Firefighters a Thank You card for everything they do. It was cute! They also made chocolate chip cookies for them. Hayden loves to make cookies! The Firefighters were great with the boys and invited us right in. Hayden was being his shy self but Landen was in aw the entire time! They got to get inside of a fire truck, try on a real Firefighter hat, and even squirt the water. I call them Firefighters rather than Firemen because there was a women Firefighter there too and she was super cute with the boys. They gave each of the boys a Firefighter hat, stickers, a Junior Firefighter pin, and a stuffed animal that they would normally be giving a child that they went to help. We had a good time hanging out at the Fire Station until we were just about to leave and Hayden was finally getting warmed up to these people when he fell down. The flooring in the fire station is not smooth but rather kind of rough. He skinned up both of his elbows and was crying that he had two owies. He has really never been scraped up before so it was traumatizing to him that he had two owies at once. That's all he could talk about the rest of the evening. Not about how neat the Fire Station was but how he had two owies. Little ones are so funny!Thanks Kathy for a fun trip to the Fire Station!
