Special Morning for Luke...

Luke had a great surprise this morning. The Drexel Heights Firefighters were outside our house checking on the hydrant that is across the street from us. Gramia took Luke outside to see what they were doing. We watched them test the pressure of the hydrant and drive down the street in a rescue truck and the fire engine. We came back inside and about 30 minutes later a firefighter knocked at our door and brought Luke a firefighter helmet, some pencils and some stickers! He was so excited...we watched them through the window again, then one of the firefighters came to ask if Luke would like to go see the engine. He was so excited, so we threw on some shorts (he was still in his pj's) and his boots, and headed outside.

He got to "drive" the fire engine, and sit on the firefighter's lap to check out all the buttons. Needless to say, he has been playing with his fire engines all afternoon and running around the house saying "fire chief...fire chief...fire chief..." (that is what his hat says). So Luke had a great morning, and had a personal tour of a fire truck! Awesome experience! I am sure he will be talking about this for a while! A big thanks to some great men from Drexel Heights Fire District, Engine #162! Emmalyn got in on the action too...but just for a second 'cause Luke "needed" his fire chief hat back!
