Sunday morning we went on a private tour of the Lake Zurich fire station and on a fire truck ride. We won this prize at a benefit that we went to. It was SOOO neat!!! Everyone was so nice and welcoming! We brought them pizzas so they could enjoy them during the Bears game as a thank you from us and they were very appreciative:) They took us on a tour of the fire station and we loved seeing where they sleep, eat and hang out while they wait for a call. Then we got to see the big fire trucks and all of the neat equipment that they use to help save lives and fight fires! Here is Colin all buckled in one of the firetrucks.
Kaitlyn was trying out the mini hose!
This was pretty neat.....one of the firemen dressed up in all of the gear and even put on an oxygen tank. Here they are listening to him talk and they were also touching his jacket.
Family Pic with the fireman:)
Colin was checking out all of his gear....its SO heavy!!
The highlight of our trip was the fire truck ride!! We got to ride on one of their largest firetrucks which has a huge ladder.
Here we are on our ride.....Daddy and Colin were able to sit in the front seat!!! Made mommy a little nervous driving around town with Colin in the front!
Mommy and Kaitlyn sat in the back with the Lieutenant. Mommy was sitting backwards and Kaitlyn was in the jump seat. We had a nice ride though Lake Zurich! We never realized how bumpy a big firetruck ride could be so we had to hold on tight! :)
Here are some of the very nice firemen who spent the morning with us! They even gave us bags filled with goodies!
Colin had to try on his fireman hat on the way home. We had a great time.....thanks to the LZ Fire Department!!!!
