Spontaneous Field Trip

We were coming home from Lydia's last day at swimming lessons today and as we were driving past the fire station, there were some little boys with a firefighter squirting water from a hose on one of the trucks. I slowed down for Lydia to see and stopped since their was no traffic to let her watch. Well, the fireman waved me over, so we turned around and got out at the fire truck. Look what Lydia got to do with Fireman Kirk:

He gave us the full tour of the new building, the trucks, etc. What fun we didn't expect to have today!

We got back in the car and Lydia asked where we were going. I told her we were going home. She said, "Is daddy home?" I told her, "no, he's at work." She responded, "Oh. That's too bad." Thank you Daddy for going to work each day to provide for us!!! We love you!

Those are such cute pictures! What a nice fireman to notice an intrigued little girl! That is a cool firetruck, too. Did they decorate it like that for the 4th?

One question: How did you get the kids' age chart on your blog? That is cute.
