Who are the people in your neighborhood?

Kirby has been begging me for a while now to take him to the fire station. Uncle James told us that we should probably arrive with baked goods. So yesterday Kirby and i made some very patriotic red, white and blue sugar cookies and went to meet some firefighters. Kirby had to sample a cookie on the way there (his third sample).

Our nice friend who very patiently showed us everything on the fire truck.


Kirby sliding down the pole for the 100th time, it was a little embarrassing after a while because Kirby wanted to stay and hang out with the firefighters all day. I kept saying " OK buddy, lets let this nice man get back to work" and then he would go ask the guy "what's in there?' and then another 5 minutes of exploring the hoses, axes, boots, helmets, first aid, we even saw the place where the firefighters do their laundry. What a fun visit. We love the Jacksonville Fire Department, Thank you for all you do!

Bebe! I love it! I would have never thought to visit the firemen. My doctor keeps telling me the firemen are good at taking blood pressure and i need to go there daily to have them take mine. (I guess I panic at the doc's office and they never get a good reading)
