Today was the St. Louis Fire Truck Rally downtown. This year they moved the parade so it came right in front of the Arch, then they had all the festivities down under the Arch with the whole street lined one after another of fire trucks. Cole loved the parade part and seeing all of "daddys friends." We sat right in front they honked and waved and threw candy. Cole waved the entire time, while running back to check on Isaak and offer candy since he didnt like being too close to all the honking! Dans crew was on today so it was fun to see them drive by in the fire truck! THey had hoses set up so the kdis could hold them and spray water. They had a "live burn" also. They set two rooms on fire, one with a sprinker system adn one not. Obviously the one without didnt fair so well....as I know from experience....and let me tell you that smell of burned curtains and furniture was the EXACT same smell I remember frm when my house burned down in kindergarten. Very weird.
COle and Isaak had an awesome time playing on "daddys firetuck" and running on the arch steps and rolling in the grass! I am so glad we went and enjoyed a great day outside...and of course...KUDDOS to firefighters for the job they do!
