What a day...

..to have the camera batteries die! What a day of fun! What a day of excitement! What a day of learning! Ff is for Firefighter. Firefighter Dutch visited our school. He dressed in full gear, complete with air pack. He showed us how we should not be afraid of firefighters when they are wearing a mask and breathing like Darth Vader. Such a valuable lesson for us all. Unfortunately, children trapped in a fire have hidden from firefighters because they were afraid of them. Firefighter Dutch showed the children that sometimes a firefighter can look scary but if they are ever in a fire, they should wave their arms and say "Here I am!" He brought fire chief helmets for each child too! Thanks so much, Dutch! We appreciate you and all your fellow firefighters.
Here's a "not so scary" picture of Dutch (who happens to be my son-in-law) with his family, Erin and little Liv. Yes...I am proud.
