Miles was so excited about the tour. The firetruck wasn't there when we arrived. On our way we saw it going out on a call. Then the call got extended so they got a truck from another fire station. Before the end our truck came back too. Ella wanted to wear her Elsa dress since later she'd be wearing it at a birthday party. I tried to tell her it was too long to deal with but she wouldn't listen. Then she got there and wished she had something else on. She didn't like that the ground was wet so she was always holding it up to walk around. Going up and down the steps were a little more of a challenge.
Miles head bumped me and I told him not to do that. It was an accident. But Ella decided to poke him in the eye telling him he was bad. So she started crying. Then she cried for a good half hour. We left the fire station to try to get her to calm down but then Miles was missing out on the explanation of equipment so we went back in while she was crying. She hated people looking at her and asking what is wrong so then she just kept crying. There was another Elsa there who was making friends with Ella before the whole crying ordeal and then when she was crying the other Elsa came over trying to comfort her and hug her but Ella didn't want anyone around.
We ate immediately before we left the house. Then mid tour the kids were begging for food.
By the end, Ella got better and was having more fun posing for pictures and looking at the fire trucks.
Dave didn't go because he had a going away brunch to go to. It would have been better with 2 adults but we managed. Miles isn't too upset about missing a little of the tour. He barely even noticed. He would not look at the camera for pictures saying he wanted to look at the truck.
The chief ended up giving most of the tour when he wasn't originally going to.
I made a slightly longer video. I'm not sure why I made 2 but I'll link the 2nd one.
I think the limit was something like 25 or 30 kids. I think 17 of them were from our one mom group.
