Cameron was rather comfortable in the driver seat of the fire engine. Perhaps he will follow in our friend's footsteps and be an engineer! An honorable profession I believe!
Emma is a monkey and will climb and swing from anything, including a fire engine!
Logan was rather intrigued with the size of the wheel and the lugnuts. Then he discovered his reflection!
This smile really tells the story. Cameron is so happy on the fire engine.
Our friend always gives the kids the little plastic fire helmets. Logan thought it was great (right up until he snapped the elastic chin strap against his skin).
Daddy got to try on a real helmet.
Our friend then took us for a ride around the block in the fire engine. I think this was the highlight for all boys involved!
This was Emma's favorite part. She got to spray the "garden hose" at it is referred to by the fire fighters. This is their 1 1/2 inch line, the smallest one they have. Cameron loves to spray water, but the engine has to be on to pump the water from the truck. The noise was too much for him and he didn't want anything to do with it! The nozzle is an aluminum alloy and weighs very little compared to older models. My dad has a nozzle from his day as a fire fighter in the Airforce (in the 1970s). It is solid brass and weighs 30 pounds!

I see you all the time, and yet it still surprises me how old your kids look in these pictures!
I had the same thought as Deannah- Cameron looks so old! I remember when he was as small as Logan- who is also growing up too fast!
