Fire Station & Sunday Best

Eli and I visited a fire station with a group of our friends today. It was such a neat experience, and the kids were fascinated by it all. In the front of the fire station was a small museum with all sorts of old hoses, helmets, uniforms, and model fire trucks. There were even four wax figures modeling old fireman uniforms--one of which Eli thought was Santa.

While on the tour a fireman put all his gear on for us. He made sure the kids knew it was still him underneath his fireman mask. When he put on the mask Eli's reaction was to cover his mouth with his hands, giggle like a school girl, and exclaim"oh no, oh no". He didn't seem too scared--just a little anxious.

At the end of the tour we had the chance to look at the different fire trucks. Below are a few pictures taken at the end of the tour. Eli wouldn't smile for any pictures.


A friend of ours from church gave us a bunch of church clothes that her boys have outgrown. All of the outfits are these cute, snazzy shirts, vests, ties, and dressy pants. We've been having fun trying out a new outfit each Sunday morning. Below are a few pictures from 2 Sundays ago.
