Fire Station

Olsen and Gabriella had a very fun morning. Noa's dad is a firefighter and invited us to visit the station today. I picked up Lu (the mom) and Noa we were off. I don't think Olsen could have had a better time.  I couldn't believe I forgot my real camera, so these are all taken with my phone.  

Walking over to the helicopter 
Olsen and Gabriella sitting in the helicopter.  Olsen really thought he was going to go for a ride. Sorry kid, no can do.
Then they all made their way to the explore the smaller engine
Then we made our way over to the brand new HUGE engine
They just pulled the headsets out of the boxes when we got there
They loved talking to each other over the headset
Noa talking to his dad, Dusty (uncle D to Olsen)
Snack time on the back of the old engine
Then we put the kids in the back of a regular truck to watch the helicopter do some training exercises.  It was so winding that the Noa and Olsen borrowed their mom's sunglasses to protect their eyes.
Watching the them practice landed to basket in the same spot.  They use that basket to rescue people from the ocean.
Cool dude's

A tour on the ambulance.  Dusty hooked Lu heart monitor 
So everyone wanted a try
She doesn't look it, but she really did like it. 
So that was our adventure for the day.  The kids loved it.  They got a fire safety coloring book, activity book and a tattoo.  I'm sure we will be back.
