Visit to the Fire Station

Today the boys and I drove down to Hanford to have lunch with Daddy. Since Eric fixes all the computers for the city, he arranged for the Fire Chief to give us a tour of the station. Evan had a ball jumping in and out of the various fire trucks. Hudson...not so much.


Evan could barely see over the steering wheel, but he sure loved being up high in the truck.


Chief buckled him in so he wouldn't fall out. It's a long drop to the ground. Just getting in and out of the trucks would wear me out!


This is how Hudson spent the tour. If I took two steps away from him, he'd start screaming. I'm not sure why he is such a fearful little thing when it comes to people.


Evan checking out the top of another fire truck. This kid is so lucky sometimes. Chief let him explore everything!


It takes a lot of strength to hold those hoses!


I stuck Hudson on the back of a fire truck just to get him off of me for a few seconds. You can see how that went over.


At the end of our visit, Chief dressed Evan in turnouts. He was engulfed by the huge jacket, but was loving every minute of it.


Ready to go fight fires.


These are the shirts that the fire fighters wear when they are fighting brush fires.

Evan thoroughly enjoyed his afternoon. Hudson was happy once I got him a Sprite.
