Trip to the Ambulance Station

Mrs T has connections :) Her sister Sharon works as a ambulance attendant. So one day, over a month ago now, we all tramped to the station and had a tour of the station itself, the ambulance and got too meet another attendant and get some pretty cool coloring books that Sharon made up for us. Because Papa was working I had everyone and so I thought I'd have my hands full.. and left my camera at home. BAD mistake. We are planning on going back sometime for pictures. E had a bit of hesitation when we 1st got there but LOVED Sharon, and still talks about her, and soon warmed up and was climbing over everything with the rest of them. She's been in a ambulance and I think that's why she hesitated.  Sharon was a great tour guide and let them listen to each others or their own heartbeats (though apparently J doesn't have one as he couldn't find his :), sit in the drivers seat, sit in the puzzle like emergency wheel chair, turned the lights and sirens on, showed them the boards, took the bed out to show them how it worked, gave them stickers and answered questions. She also showed us the station itself with it's kitchen, living room, girls and guys bedrooms and bathrooms and storage area.  They work in pairs and so we got to meet her partner for the night as well. The kids enjoyed him and they enjoyed watching TV with him for a bit. After our tour we headed over to the local donut shop and got a quick treat before heading home :) Thanks Sharon and Mrs. T we had a great time!
