Firetruck visit

One of the local fire stations is hosting a "Firefest" in our downtown area today and tomorrow. I happened to see a banner about it yesterday and we stopped by this morning. They had a couple of rooms with pictures and fire safety information, but the big thing was right in the middle of the downtown main street was a firetruck, with firemen on hand to give tours and let us look at it. We were there shortly after it arrived, and had the good fortune of being the only ones there for nearly an hour. The boys had a blast getting to sit in the seats and have plenty of time having a close up look at all the different parts of the firetruck. The firefighters were very kind and patient, gave the boys the full tour, plus a few extras, and answered many questions.

Miles fully checked out and sat in every seat in the truck, Quincy didn't want to get in at all. Here is Miles checking out some of the seats:


Miles looking at his reflection:


I tried to get a nice picture of the boys sitting on the back of the truck, I got two pictures with them both in it, neither of them would look at me at the same time, so here are the pics. The first one with Miles looking at me:

And now Quincy, facing my general direction, and believe it or not, he is saying cheese and smiling for me, clearly he was being a bit silly:


Afterward, playing on the street, Miles hiding from me behind the post:

Quincy trying to hide like Miles:
