First Trip to the Fire Station





Today on mommy and Jasper Thursday, we went to the Des Moines Fire Station for Will Julander's 3rd birthday. Will was born 3 days before Jasper. He was leaving the hospital as we were arriving and getting ready to welcome Jasper into the world! Can't believe these boys are already almost 3. Jasper usually stays with Angie on days that Issa is not available and I know Angie from my best friend, Melissa Meyer, who is her cousin.

We had a great time - the fireman taught us about the fire trucks, the fire station, the equipment, and everything else that has to do with the subject of fireman/fire stations.

We saw the truck, where they slept, got to take a ride on the pole (only 2 fire stations in Des Moines still have the 'pole' that they slide down when they get called out for a fire, so we were lucky to see that. This was the fire station that was right by our house on Euclid and Hubbell.

After the fire station, we headed over to play in the PlayPlace at McDonalds, eat lunch, and have some yummy fire-truck themed cake. Thanks so much for inviting us, Angie, we had a great time!!
