Future Firefighter

 am so grateful for the men and women who protect us and keep us safe...in hostile countries and right here in my own community.

Nathan, Izy, and I went and visited our local fire station with some of our friends. Nathan was fascinated with the big fire engines...he even got to climb up into one and pretend to drive.

I think that it is really important to expose our kids to things like this...especially if they are stuck in a fire and a "scary" looking man comes looking for them wearing funny clothes and a mask covering his face. I hope that this made Nathan a little more comfortable with people who may have to rescue him.

Or it may have "sparked" an interest in becoming a future firefighter.
