Marcus and I joined a group of Gonzaga mothers and went to Spokane's Fire Station 14 the other Monday. The kids were so excited to see the fire truck and some were more interested than others in listening to what a fireman does, since most the kids were around three years old. Their attention span was short but that did not stop their excitement for being in a fire station. Marcus saw the big ladder being lowered, some shovels, wore a fireman helmet, and went inside the truck. He talked about it for the rest of the day, saying he liked the shovels best! It is funny what kids remember and what captures their attention.
Afterward I took him to the park, because the fun never stops with he is with his auntie! There we played monster trucks and ran all around the hills of Manito. Once we were tired and it was way past nap time we headed home. Marcus said while sitting in the car, "We had a really great day, Auntie!"
Those cute little words are worth a million bucks!!
