Ding Ding! Here Comes the Fire Mobile!*

Ellie got to take a "walking" field trip to the Fire Station here on the Marietta Square yesterday. She was THRILLED that her daddy got to chaperone (not sure the feeling was mutual). The best part is, Daddy got pictures!

No, not this one:

But these:

She got to "ride" on the fire truck. 

She even got a fireman's hat and badge!

They learned from the guys at the fire station that fire trucks used to be pulled by horses.  BFF Mary Riley asked if they were winged, Pegasus horses, which would have made putting out fires a WHOLE lot cooler back in the day, but I think they shot that idea down.  Alas.

All in all an excellent field trip.
