A new fire house...to us

We always loved going to visit our friend Mr. Andy the fireman at Station 12 and running into the fireman who helped Baxter in the ambulance and at the hospital when he had real bad croup at Chick fil a  in Richmond.  That is one thing we have missed being in Carlisle. Well, some friends have a neighbor who is a fireman. We joined them on a visit to his fire station in downtown Carlisle today. He gave the kids a thorough overview of each part of the truck and let them try on air tanks and ring the bell. We also got to see two very old firetrucks in a museum they have. Then, he hooked each kid who wanted to up to a harness and let them climb the ladder truck pretending to put out a chimney fire on the building next door. It was so neat!! 

The pics tell it all! Thanks Coach Rusty and thanks Hopes for letting us tag along!

This is as far as O was up for, so eager though! And so proud! He was excited to make it up to the second story. 

At first B only wanted to go this far...

But once he started climbing he just kept going!!
