Fire Station and Pumpkin Farm

Aiden has taken 2 fieldtrips with his pre-school class.

The first trip was to the Coleman fire station.

Here he is getting a help down from the fire truck.

Checking out one of the nozzles for the hoses.

Giving the fireman a high five.

The fireman put on all his gear, and his oxygen tank. It sound like Darth Vader!

Hopefully it will help kids to know what a fireman looks like and sounds like if he has to come and rescue them sometime. Aiden was a little hesitant to give him a high five, and he even knows the fireman from church!

Later that night Aiden said, "I will never start this house on fire, because I do NOT want the fireman to have to come and do this"...and he started breathing like Darth Vader! That may be the most valuable lesson the boy learns all year! Thank you Coleman Fire Department!

And just last week we went to a pumpkin farm.

He fed a llama,

played in the maze,

and of course, picked out a pumpkin!



Pre-School Boy

In September Aiden started going to pre-school.

He has the same teacher Emma did when she was there!

We have been making good use of our time while he is gone.

We are able to get most of our school work done...without ANY distractions!

Most days we have finished with time to go out for a bike ride or a walk before we pick him up.

Here he is ready to go.

He doesn't go far without his cowboy hat and boots!

He was sure to tell me, "Don't worry, mom. I won't take my gun in."

Good to know he wouldn't be taking guns in on the first day of school!

I love this one!

He didn't have any problems with me leaving him.

In fact, his teacher had to remind him that it is nice to say good-bye to mom before he takes off.

Thankfully, he did come back to give me a hug.

Then he was off!
