Safety Day at Home Depot

Thanks to a phone call this morning from Grandpa we learned that it was Safety Day at the Home Depot nearby - meaning there would be firetrucks to see! We made our way over to the Depot after our many errands to check out the firetrucks and the ambulance that were there. Joshua enjoyed exploring the firetrucks and seeing the huge ladder and all the equipment. Joshua was a bit young for the trailer that simulates a fire and is used to teach children how to get out safely, so he just peeked in. The bonus of the day was that they were offering a kid's workshop too! If you've never done a kid's workshop they are little wood projects that kids create (younger kids usually need the help of an adult). Today's project was a whistle firetruck (the lights on top are a detachable whistle). So with help from Cory Joshua was able to build his own firetruck! He is extremely proud of his creation and has carried it with him all day and showed it off to everyone. We even got a picture with Homer the Home Depot mascot! Thanks for letting us know about such a fun event Grandpa!
