Fire Station Tour

Oh, internets!

I am simultaneously trying to plan Ziggy's fifth birthday party, finish the school year, plan for the next one, potty train a three-year-old. teach Sunday School, run the world, watch the entire second season of Lost, have fun in the sun, lose 20 pounds, AND manage a couple of blogs.

So.

Please clone me 17 times, and until then, I give you this:

The final installment of my folks coming to town. We had to interrupt that series with all the girly birthday fun, so here ya go.

While my parents were here, we had a field trip (already scheduled) with our homeschool co-op group. It was the ever-popular fire station tour.

Of course, no tour of the station is complete without the Guides having to suit up and leave, for real, two times during our "tour."

Kids didn't care much about much else besides the lights and sirens anyway.

We took the absence of the personnel as our opportunity to get a group shot:

As you can see, there are a lot of youngins in that crowd. Makes for some pretty crazy field trips, but whatever. My life is just one form of crazy after another.

Here are the firefighters and Pa and Ma Senior:

The kids also got to see one of the firefighters slide down the pole--so that was neat. Other than that, we mostly saw lights and sirens.

And just when you thought you'd seen enough birthday pictures...Zig's will be coming next. Party is on Saturday.
