Stellas school took a field trip to the local fire department in Gonzales. I could nothing but smile about their symbols on all their vehicles.
If I would have not known it already, this would have been the last piece to the puzzle to understand how serious people here are about their famous Jambalya. Too funny!
The trip happened to be on a Friday when Rick was off and he could join us in the fun.
The kids had a good time eventhough Lucien got a little scared when one guy puts his full gear on. He started crying (poor baby). He was ok as soon as the guy took his mask of again.
They talked to the kids about safety rules and the kids got to ask a lot of questions and toured the whole firestation and jumped in the firefighters beds;).
Stella sat most of the time with her new teacher Mrs Kathy. She really really likes her, which is great for Mommy´s peace while Stella is at school.
We even got to ride in one of the trucks. ( we sat in the front YAY).
In the end, each kid got a firefighter hat and a little goodie bag.
Can you tell, Stella loves her hat!!!!!!!!! She can´t wait to go back one day. Everytime we go to watch one of the cousins play ball, we pass by the firestation and Stella points out HER truck!!!!! and is concerned (if it´s not there), somebody might be having an emergency
