Visiting Daddy

Plans for a fire truck themed birthday party in August for the little man, led us to the fire station one afternoon. I need a picture of Mills in his dad's turnout gear and now that E is in a safer part of town, we get to visit him a lot more.  Mills loves to go and see the fire trucks, but to be honest, he isn't too wild about getting inside.  Odd?  Yes, for a son of a fire fighter.  The size of them is a tad bit overwhelming for him and I think the idea of lights, sirens, and rescues are great for him....at a distance. 
We let him explore at his own will and try not to push him.  Well, okay maybe not so much.  Erik's cruel sense of humor does not do the child justice. (pics below)

 

and here we have it- Erik tries to put Mills on the firetruck.  Laughing father and screaming child!

 

He's over it and all is well.
