Ethan started working on the Fire Safety merit badge at a merit badge pow wow last month, and we have been working on finishing up the requirements so we could get it signed off. The only problem is that there were two counselors that taught the class, one each week, and neither one of them signed off on a blue card the things that they worked on with Ethan at the pow wow. So we made contact with the first counselor to make an appointment for him to sign off the things he did with Ethan. He happens to be a firefighter that works at the Spanish Fork fire station and he asked Ethan to meet him at an open house that the fire station was putting on.
We decided to take the whole family to the open house. While Ethan talked to the counselor, we took the kids to follow another firefighter around so all the other kids could see the different fire trucks.
I’m sure every little boy dreams of driving a big fire truck. Adam was SO excited.
Here Adam is trying to tell us the sound that the fire truck was making, with his hands…
Dinah in the driver’s seat:
Kyle put Adam on this little shelf on the outside of the firetruck. Adam thought it was pretty funny.
When Ethan met back up with us, he announced that the counselor signed off on the merit badge for him! 🙂
