FiRe StAtIoN








Today for our little playgroup we were able to go tour the Bountiful fire station. It was a fun little adventure. Payton and Lexi weren't too sure about it when we first got there but they soon warmed up to the whole idea! they sat in the HUGE fire truck and got cool little fire hats. We were so amazed at the hard work these people do for us. We learned that when they put on all their gear it weighs over 80 lbs. and it's like over 19 degrees hotter or something like that. We are so grateful for all they do for us the EMT's and Fire fighters are true heros! We are so happy they are there for us. They had to help payton when he was one. they came to our rescue after he stopped breathing and had a seizure. he road in the ambulance then and they got us to the hospital safely. That wasn't very fun at the time but today was a fun experience seeing the inside of the ambulance and fire trucks. We also saw an original 1919 fire truck, it still works and everything! after we were able to play at the park called fireman's park. It was a fun day. We love our playgroup!

That looks like so much fun. Can't believe how big your play group is. You must all ways meet outdoors.

That is some play group. I never got to go to the fire station. Course I never got to be in an organized play group either. Actually what is a play group? We used to play in the dirt.
