After he played while I slept in (can we say best kid ever!) we made pancakes with strawberries, bananas, and blueberries - yum!
Following our pancake breakfast we headed to the library where I let him check out 6 new books. The fire station is right across the street from the library, so I asked him if he wanted to go and see the trucks. He is currently loving fire trucks and anything to do with firefighting. He has been telling us for a while now that both he and his brother are going to be 'fire truck drivers' when they get bigger!
So across the street we drove. We did not see anyone at first, but almost immediately were greeted by some really nice firemen, paid and volunteer. One in particular showed Jacob everything there was to show him about the truck itself, and he got to meet the fire chief. Being the shy little fella that he is, he didn't say much, but you could see the excitement in his face. They let him climb in to the truck, honk the horn and sirens, turn on the lights and wear some of the gear. I thought it was so sweet of them to be so generous to a little 3 year old boy. They even equipped Jacob with his own junior fire hat and a big bag of goodies. When it was time to go, Jacob got upset. The fireman told him to come back for a visit anytime. Great guys those firemen.

After the fire station we went to Chik-fil-a for lunch and to get a quick hair cut for Jake. We made it home just in time to beat the rain. I have my girls night out in a little bit, so it's just the guys tonight. Hope the rain lets up just a little bit so we aren't home bound all weekend!
