Owen's third birthday!!!

On July 14, 2012 Owen turned three!!! We had a fantastic party at the Hanover Fire Station #10. Complete with homemade cake pops, fire hats for all, coloring books for the kids and pizza! The firemen did a little demonstration for the kids. The rookie (Woodall) got dressed in his firefighting gear in front of the kids. The main message was that if the kids ever experienced a fire they were to stay low to the ground and seek out a fireman. With all the gear on (complete with the air mask and helmet), a fireman can be a little intimidating for a child. So it was a good time for them to learn that the firemen are not scary.

Each child got to sit in the fire truck and check out all the gear. They were thrilled! Five minutes before the party was to end, the fire station was called to the scene of an accident. The bell rang and everyone started rushing around. The ambulance and fire truck departed the station with their lights flashing and sirens blaring. All the kids rushed outside to watch in amazement while each fireman waved goodbye to the kids. A dramatic way to end the party...but also sad for some families that were in need of a rescue. We hope everyone was ok!!

Happy Birthday Owen!!!
