Fireman Dad

Every year, Maddox's preschool takes a class field trip to a fire station. This year, Teacher Barb thought it would be fun if the kids went to see Maddox's dad at his fire station.  Aaron did a great job!  I think the highlight of the morning for the kids was spraying the fire hose. Aaron helped each one hold the hose and squirt water. They loved it!

In the back is Fireman Reed putting on ALL his gear...exactly how he would look if he went into a burning house. Aaron was explaining what everything does and how it works. Many kids get scared when they see a fireman all suited up and breathing with the air tank, so it was cool that they got to see him go from Mr. Reed to Fireman Reed and then Aaron had them all go up and touch him and poke at him so they knew he wasn't scary.  The kids had a lot of fun doing that.
The whole class at Station 53!

So much fun and we get to do it again when Griffin's class takes their field trip in a couple years. Thanks Aaron for being a super fireman and an awesome dad!
