Today I went with Palmer's class on their field trip to the fire station. There was a mix up and the firemen weren't there when we go there-in fact nobody was so the kids had to sit down outside the door and wait. They were so good and patient. We waited about 30 minutes. The class sang and played some games. These are the three kids I had in our car.
The boys got in a circle and made up this game while we were waiting. It was a little strange, but kept them entertained.
Singing "If You're Happy and You Know it Clap Your Hands!"
We took a picture in front of the sign-still killing time.
It is so much fun to spend time with my kids one on one.
Finally we found someone there. This poor guy got to talk on the spot to a huge group of 4/5 year olds. He was totally flustered, but he still told them all sorts of good things. Notice all of the recliners in the background. What a house of guys!
There was so many good things that he said that I was glad Palmer heard.
These were paramedics. You would have to have such a strong stomach to be a paramedic, and be good in an emergency-both of which would count me out!
Finally the fire truck showed up and came into the garage with it's lights flashing. Pretty impressive.
The paramedics talked about what the ambulance was for and how it helped hurt people.
It was fun for the kids to see all of the equipment that the fire truck kept on it to help people.
They had one of the firemen come out in his fire suit.
We talked about how sometimes kids are afraid of firemen and hide from them. I never realized how scary they look in all of their gear.
They asked all of the kids to come and touch him so they wouldn't be scared-Palmer was too scared to...
He even got down on his knees to be on their level.
What a fun field trip!
