These pictures were from the end of April when we joined up with some homeschoolers to tour the local fire station. What a great experience to be up close and personal with the emergency vehicles. The firefighters were really nice, but I don't think they were used to having homeschool groups come through. Evan and Chloe were a little bit overwhelmed (and others may have been also). The kids were expected, of course, to sit and listen to the teacher give a long session about fire safety, raise their hands to answer questions, form lines and stand still in them. These are obvious skills to anyone who has learned them in school, but not these kids! It was comical. At least the trucks were cool and they got to play with their friends, but Evan and Chloe both told me when we got in the car that they are really glad we homeschool because they couldn't bear that sort of 'teaching' every day :-) Ha!
