One day last week I finally made good on my promise to take Owen to a fire station. The volunteer firemen were sooooo great--they gave Owen the royal treatment. They let him sit in their largest engine and pretend to drive it. They showed him the ladder, hose, siren, and all the buttons/switches. One of them even got all "geared up" for him and showed him how he breathes with the airtank and talks with a special speaker. He even got to help spray one of the hoses. The only thing we didn't see was a dalmatian or a pole to slide down. It was a great treat--Owen was truly in awe (and I think it made the firemen's day).
