Junior Fire Fighters!

This school year we participated in an at-home preschool (old post about this here). There were three age groups and once a month we get together for field trips. The month of May was my month to plan and with such beautiful weather I decided a field trip to the fire station was in order!

I called the Braintree Fire Department and set up a little visit which we took Wednesday. The kids LOVED it! Aiden is a huge fan of fire engines and talked about the trip for a full week before it came up on our calendar. All three age groups attended and I think it was a raging success!

The fire fighters took out one of the engines and put up the ladder as high as it goes just to show the kids. So nice of them!

And not really fire station related, but Aiden trying to entertain Devin in the stroller.


So much fun! We owe a big "thank you" to the Braintree Fire Fighters!
