A few weeks ago, our playgroup had the opportunity to visit and tour a local volunteer firestation. Luke was super excited about going, and in his excitement slipped and mentioned to Jacob that we were going BEFORE he went off to school. This resulted in tears and a very upset little 5 year old who had to go to school that day. (We try to keep our daily plans for the day from Jacob until after they occur, to prevent such episodes.)

The kiddos all got to try on the fireman's gear before he put it all on himself. He wanted to show the kids it was just a "costume" so that if they ever came face to face with a fireman in full getup, they wouldn't be scared. Every time someone had to put on the pants, he would say "Pull up your pants!" and the kids would all laugh hysterically.
Here's Luke trying on all the gear:

Put on the jacket
Can't forget the helmet

Look how big those trucks are!
So cute, he's always smiling!
