Fire station & a visit to the park

Thursday was a busy day. We took a tour of the local fire station, and played in the park after trying to get a pool pass for the local community pool. The fire station was pretty neat. The kids were all preschool aged so the fire fighters geared their tour way down. They even took us for a ride around the station in the fire truck! Of course, they got a call as we were finishing up so everyone had to huddle in the middle of the bay as the fire engine rushed out. The kids loved seeing the lights flash and sirens blaring.

The park was fun. It should come as no surprise to anyone that Megan is a dare devil. She climbed up as high as she could on the big kid equipment, scaled a rock climbing wall, swung on the big kid swings and had to hang from any bar she could find. Good thing I signed her up for gymnastic this summer.

Meg in the ambulance. She tried to jump out of the truck. Good thing I was nearby to grab her before we had to test the fire fighters emergency skills.

Meg climbing into the fire truck. I can't tell you how many pictures I took trying to get her to look at the camera. No such luck - this is the best I could get.

Megan on the big girl swings. Some day I think the girl is almost 2 going on 12!

This slide was way up at the top of the big kid playground equipment. And of course Megan found the bar and had to swing from it. She even tried to stick her feet over the edge of the slide to test my reaction. She wanted to jump off the side of the slide! Keep in mind the slide was about 6 feet up.

And finally, here's Megan swinging from one of the bars. She even tried to touch her toes to the bar. Sign that girl up for gymnastics.....wait already done. ;)
