Birthday Parties Are Fun...Especially With Fire Trucks

So today is Noah's fourth birthday party and it was a lot of fun.  The kids toured the Hesston Fire Department's main fire station.  Their fire department is setup a bit different than what we have back home.  They have a large consolidated department instead of a distributed one which means lots of trucks as well as EMS in one building.  Because Janice is due at the end of the month, she decided it would be best for her to stay home.

Cassandra had a ball.  Not only did she get to see Kylie and Noah, she got to see two ambulances and six different fire trucks (ladder, pumper, tanker, rescue, off-road and brush-fire).  And she got cake and ice cream too!

A picture of the birthday boy in full bunker gear (minus the air tanks which weighs more than him).  Cassandra and Kylie sharing a seat in the fire truck.  Will all their gear, real fire fighters are as wide as both the girls.

Cassandra got to sit in the fire fighter's seat where the air tank is stored.  Later, she seemed to enjoy modeling a party hat for us.

And she had so much fun on the tour that she has decided to go ahead and wear the hat after the party was over.
