Meet The Firefighters Night

The first Thursday of each month the firefighters of Gainesville have a "Meet the Firefighter's Night." Kids get to go out and meet some firefighter, climb around the fire truck, and watch how a firefighter puts on all his gear. 

Gabriella is obsessed with fire trucks. We live just down the street from a fire station and at least twice a day they pass by our house with the lights flashing and the sirens going. If we are home she runs to the window to watch. So yesterday evening we took her down to see the truck and meet some firefighters. 

Gabriella had a blast. They let her climb into the truck and touch a few things. Then she got to hold one of the fire hoses. At the end they let her sit in the front seat and pretend to drive. It was really cute. I think that she was in awe the whole time.

On another note, after almost 4 and half years we are finally able to park a car in the garage. We still have to do some organizing so that it is easier to get in/out of the car, but we are finally using it for what it was intended.
