Jackson's First Field Trip

Last week, Jackson's preschool class had their first field trip - a trip to the Issaquah Highlands Fire Station was planned to align with their Fire Safety lessons.  All week he was asking fire station/fire related questions and he seemed to thoroughly enjoy the field trip. He was also excited to ride the school bus there and back, which is something he'd never had the chance to do.

I took the day off work so I could join in the action, and loved seeing the excitement of Jackson and all his classmates.

They were able to see two ambulances, the living quarters of the fire fighters.  They were able to witness the fire truck pulling into the garage and then had the opportunity to crawl through it and then each had the chance to sit in the driver's seat.  They also were able to see one of the fire fighters put on all the fire gear.

I loved being a part of his first field trip and am so excited for next week's trip to the pumpkin patch.

Romi, one of Jackson's best school friends, was a little scared at the beginning of the trip, so he held her hand.
