Fire Station

A couple weeks ago we went to the fire station. Fun right? Every boy's fantasy? Obviously not Gordon's. The whole time he had his hands covering his hears, afraid the trucks siren would go off. Even after I asked the nice fireman to explain that he would make no loud noises without warning us first, Gordon insisted on covering his ears.
When everyone else gathered as close as they could to see what the fireman would show them next, Gordon was at the opposite end, preparing for the worst. When everyone got up into the back of the ambulence, Gordon wanted me to hold him. I eventually got him to pose on the front of this fire truck. Not very willingly though. There was one thing that brought a smile to his face. At the very end, the fireman said he needed Jr. Firefighters and gave everyone a helmut and sticker. Finally a smile!

That last picture is so cute. And is really is hilarious that he kept his ears covered the whole time. Funny boy. Konnor probably would have been more afraid than Gordon...

Haha! I love that picture of him on the truck. "Get me off this mom. I hate this." He's cute whether he's smiling or not.

I love the last picture too! He was so funny covering his ears the whole time. :)
I have some more pictures from that day to send you too. Dave has them in Delaware on the camera though, so give me a couple of days!
Thanks for planning and organizing that activity. Bridget loved it, and so did all the other kids!

Ellie is the same way with loud noises. At the zoo when we approach the elephants she covers her ears, because she is afraid of that pretend elephant that makes the noises. Anyway, silly kids.
