FI-ER-TRUCK! FI-ER-TRUCK!
Today is Firetruck Day. Each year, the fire truck comes to the library (actually to the front lawn of the UU church next door) and the Fire Department does a fire safety talk, does tours of the truck, then turns the hose (nicely) on the children.
All of a sudden, I’m so freaking excited. There are kids already here (an hour early), and one mom said she came early so she could get a good parking spot! Apparently, this is one of the biggest library events of the year.
Ooohhh boy! I LOVED Firetruck Day when I was small. I don’t remember if it came to my library or my church but either way it was a Big Deal. I once even got to sit in the front and pretend I was driving and I only cried a little bit out of pure terror.
Hooray for Firetruck Day!
