The Orange County Fire Authority Fire Station Open House was on Saturday morning...we were the first people there, and the only people there for the first 20 minutes or so, which totally rocked. Max had one on one time with all the fire guys and asked a bazillion questions...what's this, what's this, what does that do? 

We got to get in and touch everything on the HazMat truck, the Pumper truck, and the ambulance (he avoided that last one...)
This Fireman was hilarious, and paid extra special attention to Max. Max thought he was really funny, and couldn't stop laughing at him or asking him questions. This is Max asking his 137th question...
don't be alarmed...that's our little nerd. hee hee. cracks me up.
Max was obsessed with this dog...
no, really, obsessed...
At the end, they lit 'Joe's Garage' on fire. Holy Smokes, for sure.
Fire Truck to the Rescue!!! They pulled out all the stops, raced around the scene with their siren wailing and their horn honking, and extinguished the flames with ease. Way stinkin' cool to watch.
I'm so glad that we went, and aside from the shiner Max got from running into a gas pump, we had an amazing time...even that wasn't so bad because his favorite fire fighter friend took him into the ambulance (which he's deathly afraid of) and fixed him up and was soooo sweet to him, that maybe, just maybe, we are getting over our fear of that certain truck. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time, I mean with that shiner and all! And I have to ask,did you stand in the "super mom" line twice before coming to earth? Don't answer that, guilt already did. Now go have more fun!
That sounds like so much fun, Hudson would have been in HEAVEN right along side Max! :)
There's something special about a little boy and firemen, firetrucks, and I guess, fire dogs. SO SWEET! What a special event...glad you could go to see it. XOXO Mom
