Adam's been working on his fire engine noise for a while now and has become increasingly interested in the trucks we've seen on the road. Little did he know that he is related to a REAL fire fighter! Unco Matty recently became a member of the Lakeville Fire Department and it's been really exciting to hear all about his hard work and accomplishments - we're so proud of him! When we were visiting MN over Labor Day, Adam got a special tour of the fire station.
Adam was so excited that he got to go IN the engines. He got to see the lights flash, but didn't really like the siren. It was pretty loud with the station doors closed up.
Unco Matty showed Adam where the fire fighters sit and how the flashlights work. We also got to see all the equipment that gets stored in the trucks. I had no idea there were so many secret doors with pretty impressive tools stored in them.
Adam thought it was all pretty awesome.
Fire Fighter Matty!
Matty's locker. I think I could be on board with being a fire fighter. Everything is SO clean and organized - I LOVE it!
Sweet.
Checking out the driver's seat.
This is in the break room, which is more like a little family room. Matty will get to sign the hose up on top there after he finishes his probationary period (I forget when that is). It's pretty cool.
Matty showed us how to roll a hose. He has skills!
Adam loved playing peek-a-boo in the engine windows.
One lucky and happy little boy!
Thanks SO much Unco Matty for such a special time. We loved it!
