Long-awaited Firestation pics

These are pictures from a tour we took of a firestation the beginning of August with Tucsonmoms.com , a mother’s group here. Ben is resplendent with his band-aid mustache, which he got on our hiking trip (see August archives), and which earned him the nickname “stash” by the firemen. Ben was thrilled with the axes and firehose, and enjoyed touching the tire (which was bigger than he was) and was first to rush up and sit in the cab. The other boy in the cab is Conner, and you can see him pictured with Gigi, his mom. Conner and Gigi are recent friends here, and we introduced them to Tucsonmoms.com. Ben found the entire trip very satisfying, and they firemen did a great job. They even turned the siren on for us. Our trip was completed by the firemen getting called out, and all the kids got to watch the firetruck “in action.” A great field trip.
