We Like Playgroup, Yes We Do! We Like Playgroup, How ‘Bout You?

by Leslie

Our playgroup visited the Fire Department today.

Julia thought it was awesome.

The firemen were fabulous with the kids. They talked with them about calling 911 when there’s an emergency, getting out of the house if there’s a fire and staying low and near a window if they can’t get out.

One of the firemen dressed up in his full gear to show them how a fireman would look if he came to their house to fight a fire and reminded them that they should never hide from a fireman.

They showed the kids the fire pole. One of them slid down it. Julia wanted to slide down it, too. I told her it was only for fireman. She said, “I am a fireman.” I told her she needed some training first.

The fireman also showed the kids the ambulance and their scuba gear for diving.

Finally, they closed down the street and brought out the ladder truck.

And each kid had a turn to get inside and turn the wheel.

Then, it was off to the park for some playtime and a snack.

In Julia’s words, “Playgroup was pretty cool today.”

2 of 3 boy and I did that on a field trip once in 3rd grade. It was fun for boy and man oh man, the eye candy!!!!!! Firemen are hot. No pun intended.
Ah the joys of living somewhere besides the brink of hell. She’s actually wearing a jacket? We’re still in shorts and I’m still giving all my money to the electric company.
Sorry the fly swallowing made you throw up. How’s the little bean doing? Are you feeling movement yet?

Cute pictures. I have never gone down a fire pole, but I think it would be so cool to slide down one like in the old Batman TV series.
