When I found out that our MOPS group was going to be doing a tour of our local Fire Station I could barely wait to tell Jackson. He is beyond obsessed with anything with wheels, including firetrucks of course, so I knew he would totally dig the fire station. I didn't tell him about it until the day before because I knew he would be too excited and ask me about it every 10 seconds. When I finally told him you should have seen the HUGE smile on his face. He just couldn't wait!
When we arrived at the station they had just been called to a fire so we had to wait for them to get back. It was VERY hard for Jackson to wait just outside the station when he could see the fire trucks inside! Once the our began Jackson started naming all the parts of the truck thanks to a firetruck book from the library. The firemen at the station were quite impressed. At the end of the tour one of the fireman let Jackson sit on the truck so I could snap a pic and gave Jackson his fireman hat but it was too heavy for Jackson to hold. The firemen asked Jackson if he was going to be a fire fighter when he grew up and Jackson told them "Yes!". As we were leaving the firemen told Jackson that they would see him in 15 years. :)
