Fire Chief Caroline

Last Friday we visited a local fire station with our MOPS (Mothers of Preschoolers) group. Well, it's not too local for us anymore, since we have moved, but I didn't want Caroline to miss out on her Very FIRST visit to a Fire Station. So, we headed out early that morning to meet the other Mommies & Kiddos to explore the Brand New Purcellville Fire Station.

It just so happened that Grandma was visiting with us as well, so she came along for the fun. I think Caroline was a little overwhelmed at all of the sights and sounds of the Fire House, at first anyway. As you will see in the pictures below, she did warm up as time went by. By the end of our visit she was ringing the Fire Truck Bell over and over for everyone to hear!

Introducing Fire Chief Caroline...enjoy the pics!

Love,
Caroline's Mommy

There's that smile...she's finally warming up to the new sights and sounds at the Fire House.

Caroline covered her ears at the sounds of the kids ringing the bell on the Fire Truck.

Caroline climbed up in the cab of the Fire Truck to pose for a picture.

Whaddyathink Grandma? You like the hat?

Now, it's Caroline's turn to ring the Fire Bell! Let's just say this wasn't the only ringing of the bell...it rang over and over and over again! I think this might have been the highlight for Caroline.

Calling all units...this is Fire Chief Caroline...we're on our way!
