Do you recall the days of field trips, show and tell, and sometimes that special guest showing up at school? Those were the times. I still love them! That feeling of excitement, something new in the air. I chance to get away from all of the same, and a moment to experience something new. Yes, I love those moments.
Sometimes a little more than Baby Blue…
She may take a little longer to get used to it.
At least they are still learning.
At least they are still learning.
Things like what to do in case of an emergency.
Yep, for those times when mama almost burns down the kitchen. Oh, I’ve never shared that story? Hmm, another day.
All the buttons certainly gained her attention.
Other equipment, she wasn’t too sure about. I was expecting her to dive right in and grab it, she was completely content admiring, soaking it all in, learning from a distance, and keeping an eye on… ok, making sure that strange man is the big yellow suit didn’t get too close.
To another day of learning… through fun.
That’s the best way to learn.

oh my goodness! They are sooo cute!! I remember field trips *sigh* I loved them!
we had out fire dept come out and do a fire simulator and we all had to be in the “house” 3 at a time and figure out the right things to do…it was scary as crap, but at least i always remembered what to do!

I love the facination that kids have with firemen and fire trucks. Our local fire station is a couple blocks from my house and I live by a couple churches that provide daycare and I can always tell when it’s ‘visit the fire station day’ cuz they are all walking hand and hand with red firemen hats on!!

We visited a firetruck this weekend…..
I love the red plastic hats the kids walk away with!

Hey ya know what… let her be cautious…that is a good thing. My son, man he has never been cautious(my older one) and he has paid for it a couple times over! I am sure soon enough she’ll be divin’ into everything… includint things you don’t want her to!
Have a blessed day!

Yes, it is the best way to learn! It’s also so fascinating to experience life again through the eyes of one’s child. Your daughter is so lovely, she has such a cute little face!

Just stopping by from SITS to show some love. Happy Tuesday!
Kelly says
great pictures! Learning through touch and sight are the best! Looks like you had a nice time!

I remember hearing that a lot of kids get themselves into greater danger because they are too afraid of firemen to listen to them in an emergency. I hadn’t ever thought about that, but it makes sense. Here is a generally big person in a bright, glow-y outfit with no skin showing and a helmet! Pretty scary. I’m glad the firefighters are so willing to avail themselves to children to help keep them safe. By the way, that final picture you took fascinates me. I’m no photographer, but I think it is the way you captured the color contrast and the slight dampness on the tire. Very interesting… (going back to stare at photo)
TMI says
Looks like a fun day and those pix are amazing!
Susan says
What a great way to capture it all 🙂
Grace says
it can’t be said enough–your daughter is adorable. i remember when the firetrucks came to my elementary school. it was thrilling–they even set a little fire and put it out for us. 🙂
Prasti says
fun, fun!
we took our daughter on a visit to the fire station and she was the only girl…go figure. but you’re right, i think i tend to enjoy the field trips more than my kids :).
thanks for visiting! great photos!
Jenny in Utah says
I think Fresh Mommy might have been having a little more fun than Baby Blue – very cute – I think we all love to play on fire trucks!!!
Corey~living and loving says

Jamie says
I must admit, I know all about the “burning down of the kitchen story” and yes…..it still makes me laugh (especially the Chris in the towel part). And I remember the aftermatch that was your kitchen afterwards. Good times!
