Uncle Ian, serving a mission for our church in Northern Pennsylvania, is a bit of a celebrity in our home. That is why we were very excited to read a letter from Uncle Ian just for Noah and Naomi. After I read the letter I asked Noah, "Are you going to be a missionary when you get older?" To my surprise Noah responded with a resounding "NO!" When I asked why, his response was, "Because I am going to be a Firefighter."
Noah has always been a fan of firefighters but his dream of becoming a firefighter was solidified after Grandma and Grandpa Petersen worked their Grandparent magic and arranged a VIP tour of the local fire station. While we were there we got to....
Look cute in Fireman Hats.
Sit in the Driver's Seat.
Climb through the truck.
Take an actual ride in the fire truck around the block. Noah even got to blow the horn!
Wear Some Authentic Fireman Gear.
Watch Uncle Michael get hoisted over 100 ft into the air on the latter.
Spray the Fireman hose. I helped Naomi.
Dad helped Noah. The pressure of the hose was VERY powerful!!
Take some fun family pics sitting on the fire truck.
And last but not least, hang out with some really awesome Fireman!!
The evening was wonderful. Noah was in little boy heaven. He didn't say much, but his eyes were big as saucers and he wore a grin the entire evening.
After the fire station we went to the Provo Airport and watched as fire trucks greeted the first Frontier airplane to land there. (Those pics didn't turn out.)
So thank you to our wonderful fireman friends. We appreciate all that you do and know that our little Noah is determined to join your ranks...Someday...After he serves a mission.
I am having a "slow" morning. I read your title and thought, "Oh no, they've had a fire in their house!" Glad to see that I was completely wrong and obviously need to go back to bed. Seminary starts way too early!
