Field Trip!!!!

Today Ellie went on a fieldtrip to the Taylorsville Firestation! It was soooo fun. I was one of the volunteer drivers so I got to go too. She thought she was so cool in the Fireman Uniform. Too cute!

These are some of the kids in Ellie's class. Some of them hadn't made it to the firestation when we took the picture. But her two best friends are Annastasia(who is on the left next to Ellie) and Jayra( who is on the bottom in the long sleeve pink jacket). They have soooo much fun together.

So we learned the difference between a fire truck and a fire engine. You can tell it's a fire truck if it has the long white latter on the top. Fire enginges don't have latters. Never knew that.
The latter can extend to 150 ft. high. The fireman climbed to the top and waved. ( CRAZY!!!) He looked like a peanut he was so high up.


We learned all about the kind of tools firemen need to save people. The kids loved the HUGE scissors. ( The jaws of life) They didin't know you could buy scissors that could cut through cars.

We learned all about fire safety and STOP, DROP AND ROLL! The kids couldn't wait to demonstrate that one.

So fireman Mike came down from the latter and then he got hit right in the face with the fire extinguisher!

So they have 2 min. to put their gear in when they here the alarm to go to a fire. The kids were totally freaked out when he was in full uniform. They backed up and wouldn't go near him.
