Weeoo Weeoos!

For those of you who don't speak "Joshua" weeoo weeoo means any kind of emergency vehicle (just think of a siren sound). Today we went down to the Children's Museum because they were having a kid's safety day which included having a firetruck and ambulance on hand for the kids to explore. Knowing that Joshua loves these kinds of vehicles we just had to go down and check it out. Before today Joshua has seen a fire truck a couple of times as well as an ambulance once and all those emergency workers were very excited about sharing about their jobs and their vehicles - all of these times were just random run-ins in parking lots. Today the firemen we met weren't exactly excited to be there and didn't really do a lot of interacting with the kids. However, the paramedic let the kids sit in the bed in the back and even put monitor on their fingers so they could see their heartbeat on the screen in the ambulance. Joshua had a great time! I just pray we never have to see either of these vehicles at our house!

Very fun! For the past few years there has been a silent parade of firetrucks from all over the county downtown. It's in the fall sometime. The trucks parade down Fulton to Monroe and then line up so that you can take a look at them. It's very cool...and the firefighters love showing off their trucks! I'll see if I can find the date for you.

October 11 - Walker Fire Station. (They changed the location from previous years). It might be in the GR Press closer to the date.
