Field Trip


Today was a very special day at preschool for Sydney and her classmates.  They went on their long anticipated field trip to the fire hall!  Since the beginning of the school year the teachers have noticed that the kids have all loved role playing fire fighters so much and fire has been an on going theme theme in the class for the longest time.

It was so fun to finally be able to take the whole class there this morning!

The kids were so excited to be able to take the bus there.  Sydney loves riding the bus so much.  I've promised her that this summer she and I will ride the bus and skytrain a bunch.


It was a beautiful day so the firemen pulled the trucks out of the fire hall and let the kids sit inside and see all of the tools and equipment on board.



They even brought out the jaws of life for the kids to see, it was so cool!


Sydney brought her own little camera with her and captured some great shots of the day too!


Carmen, one of the preschool teachers, got to dress up in full gear like a real firefighter would!  The kids loved it!




One of the firemen slid down the pole at the station for us too, it was a great way to end the visit.


Just as we were getting all of the kids settled to take a picture in front of the firetrucks outside, the firemen got called away on an emergency call.  What a treat for the kids to see them in action getting dressed and driving out of the station with their sirens blaring.

We settled on a picture in front of the fire hall, I think it still turned out so well!

The firemen send all of the kids home with some great loot, their own fire chief hat, stickers, tattoos and colouring books.


What a fun morning with the class and a day to remember for sure!
