Rodriguez: Mia's field trip - Fire Station, Pumpkin Patch & Park

Mia had her first field trip yesterday. They went to the Fire Station, across the street to a Pumpkin Patch and back across the street to the park for lunch and to play. I was exhausted when I got home at 1:00 p.m.

Here's Mia on her first bus ride. She is in the lower right corner of the middle window.

All 3 Pre-K classes went on the field trip together. Here's Mia sitting on the tarp waiting for the fireman to come out to teach them about fire safety.

Here's the fireman who talked to the kids about fire safety. You can see a mini fire truck on the left sleeping. This is Eddie. He sleeps a lot at the fire station. The kids had to yell to wake him up.

Here's Mia and her classmates showing how to check to see if a door is hot.

When a firemen has on all his gear, he's carrying an extra 75 pounds.

All the kids were invited up the hug or give him five. Mia gave him five REAL quick.
