Firetruck Ride

Those of you who know Brooks knows that he is infatuated with firetrucks and firefighters and anything that has to do with either one! We drive by our own fire station once a day and visit a few times a month - they actually know us there!

So, my father (Poppy) is on the city council in his town of Highland Village and he mentioned this to the HV fire chief and asked if they would be allowed to take Brooks for a ride in the fire truck for his 3rd birthday. The chief was SUPER nice and said they would be happy to so we dressed the boys up in their fireman outfits (Halloween costumes) and we surprised him with a trip to the fire station.

The firefighters were amazing! We got a grand tour of the station, they boys played in the firetrucks ambulance and sprayed the big truck hose. The big surprise was the ride AND they said our entire family could ride! Brooks and Colt sat in the 'big boy' seats with Poppy and Alex and I sat up front (Nana didn't go with us). The fireman sounded the siren for the kids which of course we all loved. We all had a blast and Brooks had a permanent grin on his face. What a fantastic birthday present for him!!!
