Jillian loved playing in the tent and chowing down on the chocolate chip cookies the girls helped me make as a special treat for the tent. I known she will be excited when she gets to join them all night!
Hard to believe this silly face couldn't let herself fall asleep and just wanted to climb on Daddy instead of settling down huh?
Ahhh - success! After waking up (stiff back for Daddy and all!) we all headed to the Pantego Firestation with our playgroup for a tour. Since Meredith had a period of time when she was planning to be a firefighter when she grew up and since she is slightly obsessed with what happens if there is a fire, I was excited to take her on the tour. I didn't realize how interesting it would be for us too! The firefighters were great and the kids seemed to have a blast!
Meredith and Rachel held hands pretty much throughout the tour - and listening to the firefighters talk about all the tools on the truck was no exception.
You are never too busy learning about firetrucks to break into ring-around-the-rosie, right?
The kids got to help dress one of the mommies in firegear - here they are showing off how strong they are so they could hold all the heavy equipment!
Wow, they actually passed out this large pokey tool to preschoolers.
Jackie all dressed as a firefighter. They wanted to show the kids not to be scared of firefighters in their gear if they ever needed one to help them. Luckily, even Jillian, just waved and smiled to her the whole time.
Super brave Jillian with Daddy

And trying on the super-heavy hat!
We headed home for lunch and naps to recharge for a trip to Chuck E Cheese. Meredith, as always, had a blast and Neal was rocking some of the games winning some major tickets for her! The most fun for me this time was watching Jillian. This was the first time we had been there since she was really walking, so I let her down and she would run from game to game, pushing buttons - and then head to the rides and throw her leg up to jump on - even when it was the incredibly tall rocking horse ride - she just climbed up all the steps all by herself to get to the top! What an adventurous little girl we have! After dinner and games, we then got to go cheer Daddy on at his softball game. For such a busy day, we were all ready to come home for baths and bed to get ready for more fun tomorrow!
