Thursday night was what they call "Eats Night" at the Fire Station. On the 5th Thursday of the month, for their drill night, they usually just eat and hang out. This month the families were invited and we BBQ'd burgers and hotdogs. The kids were so excited, and had so much fun. It was good to meet the other fire men and meet their wives. Put a name to a face.

Kassie and Kambree. They also got to tour inside the ambulance, and see the stretcher, and all the kids items, with the teddy bears that they give the pediatric patients to hold if they happen to have to ride in there.
After dinner we all loaded up in the Engine and a couple of their brush trucks and headed to the church to soak the scouts after Pack meeting.
After soaking the scouts, we were able to ride in the Engine and fill up the 1,000 gallon tank with one of the fire hydrants. The kids thought it was so cool to be riding around in a fire engine. Fun night for the kids..... one they won't forget too soon.

See, now aren't you glad you made the potato salad and went to the picnic?!
Glad it was fun!
I have some great memories of friendships with the families that were in the fire dept with my parents when I was younger. I'm sure your kids will remember these times too!
