Muster

On Wednesday, a friend of mine told me about the West Metro Family Fire Muster for Saturday.  We had never gone to a muster and the information on the website looked pretty interesting so we went.

We took N and C with us and Dad went with us too.  First, we got a goody bag (I had to carry all 5 of them because the kids were busy doing stuff.)

Then we headed to the obstacle course.

Then we checked out the all the fire equipment.  I was really proud of Andrew because he asked a lot of questions to the different fire men.  N also asked questions, he didn't use to do that when we first started taking him places but now he feels much more comfortable and so he asks questions.

We collected a lot of goodies along the way: stuffed animals, stickers, coloring books about fire safety, key chains, posters, a gun lock - it was amazing the things we were picking up and the shear volume.

One of the last places we stopped was a bicycle safety station.  They had those bikes where the kids learn how to ride without training wheels or pedals.  They do a step, step, glide kind of thing.  Andrew jumped right on and pretty much had a handle on it within a few minutes.  He was pretty close at home too with having his balance so I wasn't surprised.  After about 5 minutes, Skylar decided she wanted to try also so she jumped on and tried the step, step glide.

After that station, we saw a house fire demonstration and then we went home.  We had arrived at 10 AM and it was now 1 PM, everyone was hot, tired and hungry and we needed to get out of the sun before we cooked.

At home, the kids continued to play outside until dark.  None of us are ready for summer to be over.  Stay away snow!!
