Winter Fire Station Tour

This is our third fire station playdate this year-guess it is the popular place to hang out these days with toddlers!  There are so many fire stations close to us that we haven't been to the same one twice though which has been nice at least (although I am sure Joseph wouldn't mind.)  On Friday, November 22nd, we went with the St. Anne's group which is the mom's group that I am a part of through our church.  We changed churches this summer since Joseph was beginning pre-school at the other Catholic church and we have been so happy with our new church.  The moms group is huge and very active.  I have done a few service activities with them and love their monthly meetings that are held at the Children's museum-the kids get to play and the moms have a 2 hour meeting where they have speakers/workshops for the moms to attend.  It is a very well-run group with a ton of activities always happening but no pressure to go to any of them.  Anyways, there were a ton of families at the fire station but Joseph loved it and the firefighters were great with the kids.
 He wasn't very impressed with the backseat and kept asking to drive.
 Much happier in the driver's seat!
Ella hung out in the ergo since I didn't want to bring the stroller and she is just too busy crawling all over the place (not really appropriate for the fire station.)  As a sidenote, I just love the ergo-I wasn't crazy about it when she was itty bitty with the insert but since about month 2 we use it constantly!  With Joseph I wasn't carrying him anymore at this age because he just felt too big for the bjorn but she still loves it and it doesn't bother me at all.  
It was a cold afternoon but a good reason to get out and we then spent the rest of the weekend fighting fires and saving cats from trees and deer from gates (which one of the firefighters shared that he had to do once.)
