The Fire house

I thought this was a great picture and wanted to share it with all. (p.s. they did get the kids wet with the water cannon)

We took a trip to fire house #7. The oldest fire house in phoenix. The girls had lots of fun. Owen was not all that interested until you got to walk though the fire truck. He did it 3 times and on the third time I had to go in to get him. they also had one of the fire men put on all the gear, including the oxygen mask, to show the kids what they look like. Of course they gave them all the tips they should do if there is a fire. One was a new one for me, they told the kids if they are in their room and can't get out, shut the door and lay on the floor and wait for help.


Then the fun began. Most of the kids had their swim suits and the firemen turned on the hose. Each of the kids got a chance to turn it on and get all the other kids wet. Just like the truck, Owen thought this was cool and got his hand in there as much as he could.


When they turned on the water canon, (this fire house does not have a ladder so they use the water canon instead), Ella was right in the middle of it. She is not afraid of anything, says her.



Bree did not get her feet wet until the hoses and the canon were put away. She is afraid of most things. There is detergent in the water to make it wetter, and also make it stick to surfaces so they will not catch on fire again. Bree had all of 10 seconds of playing in the bubbles.

That is too great! I'm glad you actually recovered Owen. Maybe now you know what his future will be :). I like the water cannon. What a fun time!
