Wet Down!

On a recent Saturday afternoon, our local volunteer fire department hosted a "Wet Down." This is a tradition in the Northeast whereby other departments help "baptize" new fire apparatus. Since our little man LOVES fire trucks, we joined the festivities.

When we arrived, William was excited just to touch a fire truck!!

Every few minutes another department arrived to douse the new apparatus and the firefighters!!

Our little firefighter couldn't take his attention away from the truck or the hot dogs!!

Mommy and William... William touch the truck. Coincidentally, a siren on the truck sounded! We both jumped. When William tells the story, he says he "scared the fire truck"!!!

A local firefighter returning from the "action"!!

After taking this shot, we realized we were in the line of fire... pun intended!!
