Safety Fair

Last Saturday we went to a safety fair held in the parking lot of a mall. Despite the heat and Eddie's and Peter's nervousness in the face of anything new or different (they get this from me, unfortunately), it turned out to be a success!
Eddie and Peter got to get in a real firetruck. They are still nervous and hesitant in this picture.
If you know how much they love everything firefighter, you will know how exciting this was for all of us!
Eddie warmed up in the driver's seat.
They got balloon swords that they loved!

The highlight of the experience for Eddie was watching a demonstration of what could happen if you were in a car crash and you didn't have a seatbelt on. He was practically in tears after the demonstration, but he can't stop talking about it and acting it out.

The highlight of the experience for Peter was seeing the bear with the hat (Smoky). Peter went up to Smoky and almost touched him!
