Fire Station Open House

Today we went to the fire station for their open house. Drew loved it! He has been saying lately that he wants to be a fireman when he gets big.

Drew went in a ladder truck and a pumper truck. He also checked out the ambulance.

This is inside the cockpit of the rescue helicopter from North Memorial Hospital.

Drew was able to practice his skills in fighting fires.

And of course you have to have a little fun at the bouncy house slide!

We started out the day in Hopkins. While Daddy got a haircut, Mommy and Drew walked around town and went to the Farmer's Market. Next Daddy and Drew met Grandpa Ed for breakfast. Then we met the Lindstrom's at the Plymouth fire station. They had every emergency vehicle, a K9 demo, area businesses with treats and goodies, the bouncy house, etc... While we were there 2 bald eagles flew over. The helicopter flew in too. It was very windy and blew a lot of leaves off the trees when the helicopter came down.

Drew passed out on the way home and slept for a couple hours when we got home. Drew and Daddy did some yard work and then Dylan came over to play.

Drew told us today that when he gets big he is going to drive his loader and knock down his school so he can build a "gymnastics". Then he is going to drive his excavator and dig a hole for the building site. When he gets big on Wednesday he is going to drive a Bobcat (skid steer). Drew did take gymnastics last winter at the same school where he goes to school now. The kid remembers everything and has a VERY active imagination!

Tomorrow is Simon's 11th birthday. Happy Birthday Sam!
