Ethan goes to the Fire Department

February 16th, Ethan's preschool class went to the Cornelius Fire Department to learn what it is that the Firemen do. Ethan was so very excited for this field trip. Not only did he get to go somewhere fun with his friends, but his dad got to be there to experience it. They had a fun time crawling through the different areas of the fire trucks, learning all about the suits that they wear, and getting their "honorary fire lieutenant stickers" to wear around.
Ethan and his friend Thomas were walking around the front of the fire truck, looking at all the cool gadgets and gizmos that they use to fight fires. Ethan thought this was the coolest thing ever!

Gathered around the fireman! They were all so interested and involved. I wasn't there, so I can only imagine how much they all wanted to be a part of what was going on. Kids are so funny and cute!
Learning a valuable lesson in fire safety I'm sure! - - Look at how well they are all paying attention!
