Field trips

The kids have taken two field trips so far with their pre-school class. The first one was to the fire station. They have been to fire stations before (while Chris was a volunteer), but this is the first time they learned some fire safety and got to see the firemen get dressed. The kids learned that they should go to the window if there is a fire, and how to "stop, drop and roll". Keira was great, but Liam got scared as soon as the fireman put on his mask and ran and jumped in my lap. We are planning another trip to the fire station with some friends soon so Liam can see them in their outfits again. In case there is a fire in our house, we want to make sure Liam won't be scared of the firemen and hide under the bed!
The second field trip was to the Great Harvest Bread Company. The kids got to learn how bread was made (and even helped knead some), tasted a few different kinds and we picked out a few loaves to take home (the cinnamon swirl was the best!).
