F.A.R.M Field Trip 5-14-2010

Every year the firefighters at Jeff's firehouse graciously invite the 1st graders at Jared and Sydney's school to the firehouse for a tour of the station,

a chance to use the fire hose on the fire truck,

repel down some stairs and rescue a "baby",

and run a obstacle course.

Not to mention playing on the apron and in the side yard, trying on fire gear and eating lunch in the bay.

The kids always seem to have a lot of fun and it's fun watching their faces light up when they see something they think is cool.

Roses in the backyard 5-14-2010

So I'm a little bit infatuated with the roses in the backyard.

Right now they are really pretty and smell wonderful.

It won't be long before they wither away! Sigh.
