Today Landon and his preschool friends went on a field trip to a fire station. The tour was fantastic, and Firefighter Patrick did a great job teaching the kids about the life of a firefighter while using examples that were on their level.
Landon was very enthusiastic about the tour. I kept having to remind him that it was Firefighter Patrick's turn to talk, haha. His boisterousness did end up getting him picked to carry a potholder around with him while we were touring. The reason for the potholder was that Firefighter Patrick compared it to the suits they wear while fighting fires. The kids also got to watch Firefighter James put on his suit in approximately 1 minute. He then crawled around on the ground pretending to find the kids in a burning building. It was pretty cute.
