Back in 2001, we took Josh and Julia to visit a local fire station.
These heroes were opening up their station to the community for the day and the kids were thrilled to have the chance to actually see the inside of a real fire truck and the station.
Josh was happy to pose after his tour of the truck:
He spent most of the next month pretending the house was on fire and he was single-handedly able to save us all. 🙂
When I look at these photos, I cannot believe how small the kids were…particularly when I look at them today:

Time marches on…the kids’ dreams change…and I treasure every moment.
