Kindergarten Field Trip!

  Cody and I had so much fun as we joined Kimber on her field trip!  We walked to the fire station and met Sparky the fire dog.  He showed us around the entire fire department. 
 They taught the kids about fire safety and we got to see where the firemen all spend their day when they are not out on a fire.
We got to see the beds where the firemen all sleep.
 They handed out juice and cookies...an instant hit with the kids.  One fireman put all of the gear on and really emphasized to the kids that they need to yell and holler if they are ever in a fire and to not be afraid of the firemen. He walked around talking to the kids and let them touch his gear.

They got a tour of the trucks and had another fun picture with Sparky :)
Cody and I were super happy to tag along.  We are sure enjoying the new Elementary!

Randomness

 The weather has been PERFECT the past few weeks.  We have been enjoying the windows and doors open and the fresh breeze moving through the house!
The kids got their pumpkins and are also enjoying the fall weather.
 Cody will play outside as much as we will let him. He LOVES to sit in the gravel driveway and play in the gravel.  Millie is a champ and will just follow him around and keep him in the yard.

 The girls had a super fun Cheer camp at Silver High School a couple of weeks ago. They LOVED learning the cheers and had a blast performing at the football game.
 The kids and I had another Saturday to fill by ourselves so when I heard that Ronald McDonald himself was coming to Silver City to open the new McDonald's playplace we headed that way.
He did a GREAT magic show and all of the kids LOVED him!  Even Cody was all smiles watching him perform.  They gave away two bikes too....one of Holdyn's friends from school won one of them. It was a fun afternoon and they gave away free goodie bags for the kids.

I have to admit. I had fun too ;)
