Daddy took a day off work and planned a visit to take the boys to see a childhood friend of his that is a firefighter in Ben's hometown of Gainesville. The boys were so excited and were counting down until the big day arrived when they got to go see Fireman Jake and the fire trucks at the fire station! Mommy went off to the spa and Daddy, Ethan, and Caden had a Boys Only day. Mommy didn't mind a bit and I was just as excited as they were!
Jake was super amazing and gave them the full tour of the station! He also made sure that the boys had hats, badges, and bags filled with coloring books and crayons, badges to give their friends, tattoos, stickers, pencils, and rubber duckies! So, so sweet of him!
Here are a few highlights of their trip...
Here are a few highlights of their trip...
Jake, Ben, Ethan, and Caden
The boys got to "drive" several different rescue vehicles
Love Caden's look of concentration in this!
They tested out the equipment inside the trucks...helmets
walkie-talkies...
flashlights...
and headphones
Jake even let Ethan and Caden experiment with the equipment on the outside of the trucks.
Once they got inside the station, Jake told Ben that they don't have poles in newer firehouses and that they have slides instead for the firefighters to slide down when the bell rings. Caden slid down but Ethan was a little intimidated by the tall slide.
After checking out the slide, they headed to the kitchen and on to the firefighters' sleeping quarters. This is where Fireman Jake sleeps. Ben said it felt a little claustrophobic up there.
What a memory making day for the boys!
Jake, thank you so very much for giving the boys an unforgettable experience!
