Lil' Firefighters

I was so excited after contacting the Ilwaco Fire Department that they were obliged to host an event for our Beach Buddy group. They rose to the task magnificently and created a wonderful time of fun for all the kids.

We were greeted by Murf, the firetruck. Very nice little guy. ;) The kids were thrilled.

Also there to greet the kids was Sparky! Sparky was a big hit with the kids.

Hyrum was not sure what to think of Sparky. He kept a safe distance. :)

This is an antique fire "truck" from 1846. I love old stuff. :)

Our whole group together minus one weary baby who did not like Sparky. Luckily, Hyrum didn't mind when I plopped him on Sparky's lap.

 And of course, can't do pictures without a silly face one!!! :P

They had fun climbing in the firetruck.

Hyrum was interested in the fire house dog and got brave enough to approach it.

And he finally got brave enough to poke Murf. LOL.

The kids LOVED Murf. I can't blame them. Murf danced, talked, played hide and go seek, and even played a little tag. Coolest robot fire truck EVER.

Sparky has a little admirer.

And here is a little video collage all about Murf.

It was a great day and I am grateful to the Volunteer firefighters and their willingness to host this event for us! What a caring group of people.
