First off: The Mommy Group had a special outing to the Carnation Fire Station. The kids got to tour the fire house and all of the trucks. What a cool morning! The fire fighters were so patient and the kids (and parents!) enjoyed every minute. I think every child left the station wanting to be a fire fighter when they grew up! :) Thank you, Carnation Fire Station!!
A few days before our outing, I talked with Evan about our upcoming adventure. The first thing Evan asked was, "Does the fire station have a store? To buy Evan a fireman's hat?" Hmm, a fire station isn't like the aquarium or zoo, with a fully loaded gift shop. But, those nice fire fighters had hats and goodie bags ready for each child! They were so excited! Evan came home and insisted on wearing his hat as he rode on his Radio Flyer fire truck. He would drive around and ask us, "Do you need help? Do you need help?"
From there, we went to Remlinger Farms for U-Pick strawberries. We came home with 5 baskets of fresh, sweet strawberries. Yum!
Next, we went to celebrate Baby Allen's first birthday at Crossroads International Park in Bellevue. It's a really nice, new park facility. Unfortunately, the water park was not completed yet. But it was a lovely afternoon!
We came home and had some quiet time. No nap for Evan, but he did ok, considering. We then had our friend Alex and his mom over for dinner. Evan turned on the charm for Uncle Alex and Aunty Sandy.
After a brief hiccup at 6 AM (It's too early, Evan! Go back to sleep!), we'll be having a quiet Sunday, thank goodness!
