Yesterday Coco and his preschool class went to the Firestation on a field trip. It was really neat.  They took us on a tour of the station and even let us see the fireman's living quarters.  They had Fireman Carson dress in his outfit with mask and oxygen so the kids could see that they may look a little scary with the mask on but it is same Carson underneath and if they are in a fire that this is what they would look like and not to be scared.  When they have the air mask on they even sound a little scary but that they should not be scared because Fireman LOVE kids.  They had Carson crawl on the ground and call out and the kids could touch him so they could see he was not scary.  Coco was scared and wouldn't touch him.  I was surprised.  It was a great eye opener for the kids and adults alike.

Then they let the kids dress up like a fireman.  Coco didn't want to at first but finally he wanted to.  He did n't stop talking about this trip all day.  He remembered all they taught him.  When Preston got home from school he was telling Preston all about if you catch on fire you NEVER RUN!!! It will make the fire bigger. That if you are on fire than you have to stop drop and roll and if you roll into something just roll the other way.  He remembered it all.!  I was really impressed.   That night he said to me "mom if I am a fireman I will work with those fireman huh?"  I said yeah you could.  He said " I am going to be really strong with big muscles and work with them"  So cute!

Karleigh went with us as well and she as well was telling Preston all about it.  Really cute!  They ended their visit with a fireman hat, pencil and badge.  We had a really great time!
