Jake had the chance to tour the Shakopee Fire Department yesterday. It was offered through Community Ed. He had a lot of fun, even though there was some talking they had to listen to. For a group of men who probably don't spend a great deal of time around large groups of kids, they did a great job.
Here is what Jake did while he was there:
- Learned about 911 and what to do if the smoke detector goes off (he did not like when they tested the smoke detector)
- Held the fire hose at the front and back of the line
- Climbed on 3 fire trucks
- Met Sparky the Dog
- Tried on the boots and jacket the fire fighters wear
- Received a fire hat and a backpack
Next month, we will go and tour the police station. I am looking forward to that. I had been to one of Richfield's fire station when I taught kindergarten, but never to the police station.
Jake also went to his friend Josh's birthday party yesterday. It was his first party without me sticking around with him. I was prepared to stay with him, but Josh's mom and grandma (who runs the preschool Jake will go to next year) told me it was fine to leave him. I went to my favorite restaurant (Q'Cumbers) and was planning on eating by myself, until I ran into my friend Kasey and her mom. They let me sit with them, so I wasn't the goofy woman sitting all by herself. Jake had a great time and I am sure did not even realize I was gone!
