Drew's Fireman Party

Sweet friends
I can put out the fire

Ready to drive
My cake

Today we had Drew's party. I think it was a big hit. We had a tour at our neighborhood fire station. The firemen were so great. We get there and one of the first things they tell us is that if the alarm goes off then they'll have to respond. I am thinking what are the chances that while we are there it will go off. Obviously the chances are great. We weren't there 5 minutes and the alarm went off and out rush the firemen onto the truck and away they go. Fortunately, there were a few firemen left and they let us look at an equipment truck. After the kids looked at that for awhile the other firemen returned (it was a false alarm). The kids were able to spray the hose and climb into the truck. The firemen pulled out the ladder truck and raised the ladder. It went so high and a fireman climbed all the way to the top. To end it all, the kids were allowed a ride around the parking lot in the fire truck. Super fun!

Then everyone came back to the house for pizza and cake. It was lots of work, but all worth it to celebrate the life of my favorite four year old. We love you, Drew!

What a cute idea--and what cute kids. Does Drew want to be a fireman when he grows up??? If so, he has higher aspirations than his dad did. His dad wanted to work at Fox Photo!!! : )
