Scout field trip

Last week we took the scouts to the fire station for a field trip. They were all very excited about this since only two of them had ever been to a station before. When we got there we first got a quick tour of the fire house. The boys got to see the stations kitchen, living room area, and workout room. Then we headed out to the garage and they got to climb in and see inside every door and compartment on the fire trucks. They got to sit in the front and get a chance to pretend to drive it. Had a chance to see where all the hoses and ladders and kept on the truck as well as other necessary medical equipment. Then we went outside and they turned on one of the hoses. Each boy had a chance to hold the hose and spray the water out in the parking lot. Obviously this was their favorite part. They each sprayed, splashed, doused themselves in the hose water. By the end they were all happily soaked. Then they did a couple of races with the hoses. Divided into teams to see which team could straigten out the hose first and then which could fold it back up first. It was really fun and I think the boys all enjoyed it.
