Our field trip for November was the Ogden City Fire Station. Hallie loves the field trips and I like the change in scenery. The fire fighters were so nice and made it so fun for the kids. They gave them a tour of the firetruck and ambulance.
They turned all the lights on
Showed them the axes that they explained in their favorite tool
How they get the ladders down from the top of the truck
The hoses on the back of the truck 900 feet in total!
The exhaust hoses to pump out the fumes while the truck is running
All the valves and gauges
They even got to climb through the ambulance
Then they got to feel the uniforms and hold a small fire hose
And put on the oxygen tanks which was heavier than I anticipated
She looks so little next to the fire truck
Then they showed them where the firemen hang their gear in the firetruck
Then they each got a packet with fire fighter badge stickers, an emergency number magnet for the fridge, a color book, a pencil, and a bouncy ball
All the kids with their firefighter friends...Hallie was so excited when one of the fire fighters told her she could come back any time she wanted.
Me and my sweet girls...oh how I love being a mom
Then they had snack and posed with Smokey the Bear. Hallie said her fruit roll up was the best snack she had ever had..maybe I need to buy them once in a while.
