At our first visit, Hunter was extremely quiet. He didn't want to shake anyone's hand, or climb in the truck, or wear the sticker, or the hat they gave him, but the whole way home after an extensive tour from the sweetest Firefighter, he was a chatty cathy and went on and on about how much fun he had at the Fire Station!
Today our neighbor whom the kids call "Uncle Chris" because he really is more like an Uncle than just a neighbor, took us to visit his Uncle who is the Fire Captain at his station. The kids got to see both fire engine and truck and then walked into the kitchen area and were greeted by an entire table of real Fire Fighters!! Hunter was a little star struck. He was smiling this huge grin, but wouldn't leave my side. Emma on the other hand was all flirts and giggles, and when they handed her a lollipop and said "Thank you.." all sing songy I swear every fire fighter in there said "Awww." and one said "I think that was the cutest 'Thank you' I've ever heard." HAHA ya...come by at about 7:45pm when she's cranky and mean...then see how you feel. The kids had so much fun and enjoyed their green lollipops at home while they ran around fighting imaginary fires.
I was so glad to take Hunter for a trip outside the house that wasn't another Dr. appointment. I hope to bring Hunter back again, the first fire station we visited said we were always welcome to come back. I want Hunter to get used to seeing new places and meeting these Heroes. Maybe we will bring a plate of cookies next time. :)
