Five Alarm Fun

Today was the Annual Poway Fire Department Open House. Being that my boys are obsessed with Fire and Rescue vehicles, it was an absolute GIVEN that we would be there.

...and that the smiles would abound.

We also invited our friend Tobin to join us. He enjoyed the Fire Trucks too, just not posing for pictures. Somewhere along the lines, my children have learned to smile upon request. I swear I didn't teach them!

We even got a special treat and met a Dalmatian! "Hi puppy dog!"

We were able to climb in all sorts of Fire Trucks. "Evan climb in Fire Truck, put seat belt on, drive."
"Ry-ry do too!"
Okay, so they had a ladder truck, with the ladder fully extended. VERY cool. There was this step between the ladder and the cab of the truck, it was a perfect place for little boys to climb. Except, see Evan's hand. What you can't see is the gear behind Tobin's head, covered in grease. Evan saw it. Evan stuck his hand in it.
"Evan has grubby hands" Yep, see all that axle grease? See Tobin's Mommy getting him in his white shirt away from Evan's grubby hands? Yep. What you don't see is the firefighter running around trying to find a wipe to clean Evan's grubby hands. What you don't see are the cones the firefighters placed on those tempting steps to prevent other boys from getting grubby hands.

We'll come to this event again, there's a lot of good information to be had, that is once the boys can sit still and not be overcome by the emotion over the fire trucks, there will be some good information to be had.
