Visiting our Favorite Fireman

Uncle Mike, Abbie and Sophie

Sophie and Abbie

Abbie gives a wave as she pulls her truck out

 

This past weekend, we knew that Sophie would be disappointed because Matt's dad, Paw-paw Tom and his sister, Leia, were supposed to have flown in for President's Day weekend. Since the weather was bad in Atlanta and many other places, their flight was cancelled and so they postponed their trip until another time. I decided to give my Uncle Mike a call to see if he would be working at the fire hall and he was working! We hadn't taken Sophie to visit a fire hall since she was about Abbie's age. Anyway, the girls enjoyed seeing Uncle Mike, checking out the fire trucks and pretending to drive. They also took a look around the fire station itself. We forgot our digital camera so we took pictures on Matt's new phone. We were a bit concerned about Abbie because she really got upset almost as soon as we got there when there was a loud noise at the station. Then, she calmed down and warmed right up to Uncle Mike. =) After our visit to the station, we asked Abbie, "who's a fireman?" and she like to say, "me!" and then we say, "who else?" and she responds "unca Mike!" The girls received coloring books on the way out. Thanks for letting us come and visit, Uncle Mike!
