Great Grandpa's Fire Station

This afternoon, we visited the fire station on LaGrave Ave in support of Matt's grandfather, his 23 years of firefighting duty he gave to them, and the 100th anniversary of the fire station. We were honored with a behind the scenes tour given by his grandpa and another firefighter along with detailed stories and memories of the past.

Adri and Sammy had a wonderful time there; sitting on the firetrucks, looking in the firefighter's sleeping quarters, and spending time with their cousins.

Here are a few photos from our afternoon:

Adri-isms of the day:

Me: Adri, are you ready for breakfast?
Adri: Yes! I'm starving!

Adri: Let's see how Sam's feeling today (putting her hand up to feel Sammy's head).
He's warm, aren't you Sammy Man? When you're sick you have germs in your tummy and you puke in the toilet, don't you Mommy?

Mommy, Sam is my best friend. Aren't you Sam?
