Fire Station

On Friday Paige's preschool class had a field trip to the Jacksonville Fire Station. She had a lot of fun, Izzy and I were able to go to and enjoy the morning with Paige. They started off with a climb through the fire truck which they all enjoyed. Then one of the firemen gave a demonstration of putting on all of their gear and for kids not to be afraid of them, smart! After that we went up stairs to watch a video about fire safety. The video was really corney but I know that the kids really enjoyed it and I think that was the only time that all 3 classes were completely quiet. One kid did stand up in the middle of the video when the video mentioned something about fire detectors and proudly announced that he has 3 in his house. It was really funny because he was so serious while saying it, to bad his parents weren't there to witness. To end the field trip, the firemen got a call and took off with their sirens going. The kids were very impressed and confused to why the firemen where leaving without saying goodbye. They did wave to them as they were driving away. Paige kept asking me where are they going? It was fun to go with Paige's class, I am sure that Izzy and I will be crashing more of her field trips in the future. I am just glad that they allow parents to bring their other children along.
