I don't know where to start or how to try to capture the absolute glee AJ experienced Sunday at the annual Ashburn Fire Station Open House. He was all grins and running around trying to take it all in - he never stopped!
We started in line for the fire engine rides. We climbed to the top of the truck and they drove us around Ashburn for 5 minutes or so, trying out the sirens and lights and making AJ squeal and yell "weeeoooo weeeoooo" along with the sirens. Some kids got scared up there but not AJ - he held on to the edge and let the wind blow in his air.
After the ride, AJ got to check out the inside of the fire truck and ambulance. He kept saying "wow" at each new stop.
Our last stop was to check out the fire hose training station where AJ got to get his very own firefighter hat. Once he had his gear he got to take the hose, with a little help, and blast it at the wooden animals in the field. Even Pete got in on the game.

He looks like a real fire man holding the hose!
Makes me remember Charlie at the same age, also totally into fire trucks. Nora will not get on one.
