God Gave Us an "F" Today!

We have been S-L-O-W-L-Y making our way through the alphabet using Letter of the Week online curriculum. Earlier this week I went to the library and picked up our books for our current letter, "F". Of course, firefighter, firetruck, and firemen were part of the subjects that fit nicely with this letter so I contemplated the idea of a trip to the local firestation. I called the fire marshall's office and left a message inquiring as to the procedure for setting something like this up.

That was Monday.

On Wednesday, after my preschooler had already had a great day of learning, we were going about our afternoon routine when we heard a very loud noise outside. My son came running in the house from the backyard yelling, "Mommy, it's a FIRETRUCK!". We dropped everything, grabbed the camera and ran outside. Whadya know, God brought the firetruck to us!

We talked to the firemen, touched the hoses, looked in the truck. We have a fire hydrant in our front yard. I'm assuming that the firemen were doing a routine check. So...we even got to watch the fire hydrant explode with water! It was awesome. I couldn't have planned a better fieldtrip. Even the little one got in on the action! We had to stop him from trying to leave with the firetruck!

God is so good and so thoughtful! He brought us our "F"
