What an eventful day yesterday! We've got some really nasty hot weather moving through the state this week and so our play group decided to meet at a local splash park instead of at church on Tuesday. We all arrived about 9:30 a.m. (along with about 2 dozen other families who had the same idea) only to learn that the water wasn't turned on until 10 ... yikes! After calling around a bit to get in touch with the parks and rec. department, things started up a little early (9:50, instead of 10 ... but 10 minutes makes a big difference for toddlers!) Anyway, Anna loved the entire experience and Kate managed to cooperate so Anna could have a bit of fun. We may have to get out the sprinkler here again this afternoon ...
The other big event of the day involved a couple of firetrucks that came to our street. A neighbor a few doors down was cutting down a tree, hit the power lines (big oops!), and knocked out power on our side of the road (on the hottest day of the year so far, of course). We got to watch two firetrucks with lights flashing and sirens blaring drive right past our house. Then we were able to meet a real, live firefighter in full gear in our neighbor's backyard. But the real highlight was when Anna, Kate, and I (Matt was out running errands, so he missed this part) walked down to see the trucks up close and were invited to sit IN the firetruck. A very friendly firefighter held Kate while I climbed up with Anna and sat inside the truck for a bit. Anna will definitely be talking about this experience for awhile!
