Evan and Erin’s Friday play group arranged a visit to a nearby Eugene fire station today — Sheldon station 6. The older kids in the group are all just about to turn 4 years old, and the younger siblings range in age from 16 months - 2 years old. The kids — and Jen especially! — had a great time. And the crew at the station did a great job interacting with them.

In the middle of their visit, the ambulance got a call and had to leave. And then right as their visit was wrapping up, the engine got a call. The group had been instructed that in the event that the engine gets a call, they were to immediately gather up their stuff and show themselves out — which they did. They watched the engine from the grassy area in front of the station.

You don’t want to miss the heart-pounding action in the video below created from a series of still photos Jen took as the engine was leaving the station:

Finally, I’m keeping the photo album private since it has photos of several of the kids in the play group. But all you have to do is log in to the gallery to view it. (If you need a username and password, just register.)
