Fire Station Fun

A while back at our Fall Festival at church Sherry bid and won a lunch for 5 kids at the fire station. So before Valentines Day she scheduled the lunch and fire station tour. I was not sure that Maggie would get go because I had been in St. Louis all week and Maggie and Turner had been in Arkansas. Mom was so kind to bring them back on Thursday night so that we could go to the party. We met up there and got to tour the station, see where the firemen sleep, sit on the firetruck and even try on the outfits. WOW they are heavy!!!! I think that the adults (at least me) learned more than the kids. I really enjoyed it. I'm sure that I had been on a station tour when I was little but I really enjoyed it. Sherry tried on the outfit and tried to do it in record time like the firemen do. After the fun we got to have lunch with them. They cooked us hamburgers and hot dogs. Maggie and I had to hurry through lunch because we had to pick up Turner from Mimi's house. Sherry gave each child a basket with goodies in it and Maggie's favorite was the big lollipop. There was a stuffed dog and she told me that she was going to give that to Turner. I was shocked to say the least but very proud of her for sharing.

Sherry with all the kids.

Maggie in the fire truck. She was in rare form today. She only wanted to be held and didn't want to hear any loud noises!!

Her attitude changed as soon as she got that lollipop.
