A Visit to the Fire Station

So today Lisa and Mandy (Mama's from the gym where I work) asked me to join them for a visit to our local Fire Department. Lisa and Mandy have recently had the opportunity to meet some of our local firefighters at the gym and Mandy asked if we could bring up the kids sometime to see a firetruck? They were more than happy and said to come up anytime...well, today was that day. I met the girls up there and we were quite a bunch, Mandy with her little boy, Lisa with her little boy and I had Cohen and my nephew Karcher. So 3 mom's with four 2 year olds! Quite a bunch we were!


Karcher was really scared of the big truck and started crying and yelling "no" as soon as he saw it. He had a death grip around me and I wasn't putting him down even if I really tried! Cohen was loving it. They popped him up in the drivers seat and he had a blast pretending to drive that giant red truck. He had headphones on and everything!
Then the best think happened in the whole world!!! They let us go for a ride!!! I'm not sure if they were supposed to so I won't disclose their names. ;-) lol! Anyway, I took a video of the ride with my camera phone. The video is a little shaky because...well, we were moving! Not to mention Cohen wanted to take video too, and he was all over the place! You can hear Karcher crying in the first video, but he calmed down after just a few minutes. In the second video you can hear the siren that he turned on for us. How cool is that? It was really amazing!!!

So thank you, thank you, thank you to the guys at the Mt. Vernon Fire Station on 42nd street! We loved it!!!
