On Saturday our friends Matt & Megan had heard that there was a local fire department having an open house. Since Cooper owns approximately 2,304 fire trucks, and insists on watching his video Fire Truck Mighty Machines every single morning (no exceptions) while he eats his breakfast, we thought it would be a fun outing with friends.
After a quick brunch at Zumbro Cafe (delish, by the way!), we were on our way over to the fire house. Of course, the unseasonably cold weather was slightly uncooperative, and we were frozen visitors, but we were visitors nonetheless…and happy ones. The firemen really know how to throw a party, and Cooper and Jack quickly made their way to the popcorn line…
and then the cookie line…
they got their turn at “driving” one of the ladder trucks…
and solo…
And a final pic on the front end of one of the trucks in their cool new hats. They had a great time, so a huge thanks to the Richfield Fire Department for all that they do, and for putting on a great party. (And for answering Matt’s questions about the difference between “regular” trucks and the airport truck.)
How fun! Liam LOVES firetrucks too, so much so, that we have talked about having his birthday party at the local fire department (they let you rent the fire station)! Maybe for Coops birthday at the local fire department too.
See?! ‘Free’ entertainment to be found in every town.
Great pics, looks like fun.
