Firehouse fun!

Okay, seriously, this might have been the absolute highlight of Luke's life thus far (and it was actually pretty exciting for the adults too!).


Day and Paw won a dinner at the firehouse at a charity auction ... and we didn't realize just how many cool things we were going to get to do while there. Check it out:



First up was a tour of the fire house, but Luke had absolutely no interest in seeing their HOUSE ... he wanted to see their TRUCKS! So, we took a raincheck on the house tour and headed straight out to the garage.

We were able to look at and sit in all of the trucks. Luke loved sitting in the back...

...and in the driver's seat with Daddy.

Until the alarm sounded and we had to quickly jump out of the trucks so that the firemen could jump in and take off!!!

While they were gone, Luke got to look at some of the other fire trucks on site ... and the fireman who stayed back from the call offered to take Luke for his first ride in a fire engine!

Luke decided to take a seat in the back with Day while Daddy rode up front and honked the horn and operated the sirens!

Luckily, the rest of the crew arrived back to the station in time for dinner

After a delicious dinner of tri tip, pasta, and salad, they presented Luke with his own hat, and we took the tour of the fire house.

Then we headed back outside to practice knocking down cones with the water from a fire hose

We went for another ride in the other engine

And they showed us how the ladder goes up!

SO. MUCH. FUN.

Luke would like to thank both Day and Paw and the Santa Clara County firefighters for donating to a wonderful cause and making a little boy's dream come true!
