Yesterday, Luke's school had a field trip to the local Fire Station.
Since the Fire Station is literally "just up the street", we all walked there. When Marc, Grey and I arrived, Luke's class was lining up. Most all the other kids were lining up with their parents so the parent would be their "hand-holding" buddy. But not Luke. As his teacher, Miss Angie, put it... "he's got Laci, so he's good".
Still... are they not the cutest couple you've ever seen? Look at their little hands holding on to each other.
Along with Miss Angie, Luke and Laci led the group as we crossed the street. Local Law Enforcement was there to help stop traffic.
Here was our destination... The Mineral Fire & Rescue Station.
The first thing they did, was to all come in and sit down, and learn about what to do if they caught on fire. Do you remember? Stop. Drop. Roll. Luke looks so enthused with his chin resting in his hand (he's in the middle at the front).
Then one of the firefighters got into all of his gear, so that the kids would see what he would look like if he was coming into their house to rescue them from a fire. They emphasized to the children to not hide and to not be afraid of the Fireman.
Then Smokey the Bear showed up. He's talking to Grey before the bombardment of all the pre-schoolers. Side Note... Luke wanted nothing to do with him.
Beau and Luke are checking out the "Whirly" lights on one of the trucks.
Luke checking out the underside of the bell, because he just didn't understand where the ringing sound was coming from. He never did figure out he could just pull the string.
At that point, Luke became what I called a "Truck Hog". Everytime, I looked for him, he was in the driver seat.
Mineral Firestation... very fun Field Trip. So glad we could all be there with Luke.

Kristol,
It's always fun to follow the pictures of your family. I noticed that some of your outside pictures with the bright sun are 'whited-out' for lack of a better term (can't remember the term name!). Have you looked into Polarized filters for your camera? For about $50 (give or take, I forget the actual cost), you can eliminate the reflecting sun that's over-powering your camera's sensor. I now use polarized filters for the majority of my shots -- they work wonders!
