Fire House!

For those of you that saw the previous post of Reed and the fire truck, you may remember that our neighbor, Bob, is affiliated with the Elgin Fire Barn Museum. A few weeks back he tipped us off that there would be an open house at the museum. It is in a cool old fire house that is no longer in use. They have two cool old fire trucks and some older models that were pulled by horses.

We met a couple of Reed's buddies, Benjamin and Leo, and their parents there. The boys had a blast. It was a rainy morning and there wasn't a big turnout so they had the run of the place for a while. What more could a 2 year old boy ask for?!

Benjamin sporting a helmet that nearly toppled him over. Wow it really was heavy!

Leo ringing the bell on the fire engine.

They sounded the alarm that signaled there was a fire. We warned the boys that the ringing would be loud. This was the result.

Our neighbor Bob helped Reed spray the fire hose.

Checking out all the parts on the fire engine.

After the rain stopped, the boys decided to take the fun outside and run around for a bit.

It was a great Saturday morning activity. I think there might just be three little boys begging to be firefighters this Halloween.
