Elle's girl scout troop was working on a first aid patch this past week so we headed to a firehouse to take a tour. We were able to take Levi and Ava along also and everyone loved it. I don't know how firefighters are in other cities but the ones in our city are SO kind and patient with children. That makes me have even more warm fuzzies for this city! Anyway after the firehouse tour, our troop headed to a local park where our goal was to do some natural hiking and learning about first aid ...Mother Nature had other plans. Within about 2 minutes of getting to the park and setting our stuff down under a semi-covered pavilion, it started raining. And by raining I mean hurricane rain. As in blowing sideways...which makes a covered pavilion pretty much useless. And the pavilion wasn't exactly close to our car. We all tried to wait out the extreme rain to no avail. We were going to have to get more wet than we already were, and by wet I mean, leave all your clothes on and turn on the shower and get in for about 5 minutes. It took about 30 seconds of FAST running to get to the car. Sopping wet. But laughing hysterically and having a great memory to boot...saving that nature hike for another NONrainy day.....
See how sunny and pretty it was at the firehouse?...no indication of rain whatsoever!
The girls asked the firemen to turn the fan on that they use to flush smoke out of a house....it was hilarious!
Towards the end of the tour, they actually got a call and dropped everything and headed to an emergency. All the girls covered their ears as the firetruck zoomed through the garage and headed out!
And my favorite picture of the night...the girls trying to stay semi-drive during our failed attempt at a nature hike!
