Cole really wanted to celebrate is 4th birthday with all of his friends. Our amazing local fire department hosted his party at the Waukee Fire Station.
The party started out with a tour through the ambulance and two of the fire trucks at the station. The kids love to climb around the trucks and pretend to be fire fighters. Fire fighter Nate even showed him the fire fighting tools, including the big axe in the pic below.
Next, fire fighter Nate pulled out the hoses and helped the kids spray targets. They had a blast!
He even pulled out the big hose and let the big kids spray! The adults had as much fun as the kids :)
The other fire fighter took all of the kids for a ride in the big ladder truck. The lucky few who got to sit in the front were able to honk the loud horn! This was also Ben's first time riding a fire truck :)
Last stop on the tour was trying on the gear. Fire fighter Nate showed us all the gear he has to wear when fighting fires. He let the kids try on all the gear too.
The fire crew let us use their meeting room to do cake and presents after the tour.
Cole was spoiled, as usual. My favorite gift was his fish. Cole named him Flarb and we all adore him!
We were so lucky that so many of our friends could make it:
Andrea and McKenna Bowman; Emily, David and Lydia Croft; Troy, Katelyn and Kylie Fowler; Danna and addalie Pettit; Mike and Morgan Pfeiffer; Jessica, Ethan and Chase Rindlisbacher; Mindy, Rykker and Brigham Stromberg; Grandma and Lilly Stuart; Travis, Karen, Grace, Anna, Nelson and Emmyline Tidwell.
We had such a fun birthday party today! One of Cole's friends said "This was the best day ever!" It's pretty far up there on the list. Thanks to the awesome Waukee Fire Department! And Thanks to our awesome friends for coming and playing with us!!
