Fire Department

During our trip to visit my mother-in-law a couple weeks back, we took Princess E to visit Uncle Fireman, my brother-in-law, at the fire station. He's a firefighter in their city, and happened to be on duty that day. We've taken her to visit him several times before and she always has a great time.

Of course, she climbed in/on/around the apparatus. Here she is in the cab. She thought it would be funny to take a picture of me while I was taking a picture of her.

Here's the front of that particular ladder truck. I'm fascinated with fire trucks. and have been since I was little. She's a girl after my own heart.

While we were there, one of the other crews was called out. They had the lights on before they pulled out of the bay. The same crew, on their return, drove really slowly so Princess E could take pictures and squeal. There was a time when she was afraid of fire trucks.

Uncle Fireman took her up to the basket at the back of the ladder. She's finally tall enough to see out of the basket. I discovered a photo on her camera that she took of me walking around below her. Here she is climbing down. Daddy is at the bottom, ready to catch her and Uncle Fireman is behind her. You can just barely make out his leg in the top right corner. Yep, he was wearing shorts!

I took this photo "just cuz". I was under the basket at the time.

When you see these lights flashing, what do you think?

OH NO, SOMEBODY IS IN TROUBLE

or

OH GOOD, HELP IS ON THE WAY!
