Field Trip to the Fire Station

Instead of shopping at all the Day after Thanksgiving sales, we opted to avoid the crowds and take a tour of the Saratoga Springs Firestation. Now that Uncle Spencer is a big-wig city guy-- he can pull a few strings for us. We had such a good time and the kids were thrilled. Fire Cheif Mike was so good and patient with all the kids and gave them pencils, stickers, and official fire hats. Johnny especially loved climbing atop the firetruck and getting to spray the water. Instead of a Dalmation fire station dog, there was a fire station cat that adopted the fire station as it's home but was nameless. After we left, the cat had been officially named Firecracker. What fun memories we made and how fun to share good times with all the cousins!
