Little Fireman

Last Saturday at the local shopping center there was a benefit for a policeman who was killed in the line of duty in Rockdale. The fire department and police department were both out there and kids were free to explore the trucks and cars. As soon as I saw this I rushed home to get the firemen's #1 fan-Chasen! Chasen was so excited that he put on all of his fire gear and was ready to roll! The firemen were so excited to see Chasen all decked out in his fireman outfit that they let him loose on the truck! They let him wear the head phones and talke to him through them. One of the firemen let Chasen wear his mask and another fireman let Chasen sound the siren! Chasen got to wear a real helmet and put on real boots and pants. "Too big" and "Too heavy" was what he thought about them, but he was excited none the less. He also had a chance to get in the back of a police car, but he wasn't too impressed with that. I don't think he really understands the point of the backseat and we hope he never will have to sit there again! I think if he could, Chasen would say that last Saturday was the best day of his life!
