Visit to Black Mountain Fire House

Yesterday, our town fire department had an open house.  Larry Denzil and I thought it was going to be a small event.  It was quite the opposite.  The entire town came out and they were giving truck rides, had safety exhibits, showed the firehouse...  It was quite a neat experience for the kids.

Here is Savannah after having her face painted.

Here is Ethan with a football on his face.

Larry is getting red flames painted on his.

Xander had a yellow snake painted on his.

Here is Larry in the cop car.

The back seat of this car had no leg room.

Here is Savannah looking all delicate.

Xander was super excited to be sitting inside this car. 

Here the kids are getting ready for a truck ride.

They were giving rides in all the trucks including the super large ones.

We thought it was safer for our kids to be in this small antique car.

Notice the bell instead of a siren.  Apparently, while driving around,

Xander took it upon himself to ring the bell.  He is so

mischievous.

This truck was making such a large clanking noise like the car in

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.  I think that is why the fire fighter was checking

it out.  Maybe they did not expect a large turn out of

people either.

Here are the kids in front of the fire fighter uniforms.

The boys thought they were really cool.
