John's birthday, part 1



We had John's 4th birthday party on Saturday. He has been anticipating this event since March or so. Way back then he mentioned he wanted a fire truck party, so we decided to have it at the local fire station. Basically, I was browsing the interweb for fire engine ideas and saw that a lot of fire stations offer tours. Sure enough, ours does, and friendly administrator Stacy also volunteered that we could have the cake and ice cream festivities under a big tree at some picnic tables out back.




The other side was nicely bordered by CAT buses.



We had a little arrival hubbub...




... Then headed to the main event. The only thing missing from these two pictures is the soundtrack in which the kids were saying "Oooooooh" each time the fire man opened a new door.




To be continued...

No, they are just in a different place. Probably in the shade, where it was 10 degrees cooler.
