a trip to Firehouse #5,a happy birthday wish, a decorated house and a plate of sugar cookies.
The firehouse was a great place for boys to go. This one was the newest one in Edmond, so it didn't have traditional things like the 2nd floor bunkhouse and the firepole but it was still cool to see how fireman live when they are on their 24-hour shift.
First they told the boys about how they work 24 hours at a time and Noah looked at me and said, "24 hours! Woah!" Then when the tour was over, Noah looked very disappointed. He asked, "Mom, is that it?" I said, "Yes, the tour is over now." He answers, "But it hasn't been 24 hours yet!" He thought we were going to stay the whole 24 hours too!
The firemen were so nice and said we could stop by anytime. One of the guys showed the boys how fast they could put on their suit (36 seconds). Then he put on his oxygen tank and mask (another 36 seconds) and talked to the boys with all of the gear on. That was neat because he told them not to be afraid of him when he looked like that because a fireman is one of the good guys. He also told them that he could go in the fire because no skin was showing and he was protected. Good lessons.
Have a great day!
PS-Yesterday was not only Mallory's birthday, but it was Abbey's too! So, Abbey, I hope you had a wonderful day!

Rhett looks so big in his scout suit. I know he is enjoying it. Noah probably likes it also. Sandy
What, you didn't want to stay there for 24 hours?
Thanks Aimee! I had a great day.
