Our Little Boogers

Sharing our lives: two kids, two full-time jobs, one old house, and plenty of love and laughter. And baseball.

Happy 4th!

We headed downtown for a festival... and I could've sworn I read something about people getting citizenship today, but we didn't see any of that. We did, however, see a ladder truck. The little guy got to talk to two (very kind and patient) firefighters.
This firefighter was explaining why the ladder goes so high in the air.
He managed to explain it without being terrifying,
which is pretty impressive!
It took a few false starts, but he ended up even sitting in the fire truck.
This poor guy's job was to pick up a gazillion kids, put them in the
truck, keep them from falling out while their parents took pictures,
and then get each kid back down safely. Whew!
He was SO proud of himself!
Then the boys had some ice cream and we all went home. The baby spent her evening chewing on one of the little dude's worker-men.
Construction workers are the breakfast of champions.

  1. Good thing Grandma wasn't there or she would have asked the firefighter for help, too. :-)
