Every year, Santa comes around the city of Eagle Mountain on a fire truck, and throws candy out to the children in the neighborhoods. And every year most of our kids miss it because there always seems to be a primary Christmas activity scheduled for the same time. This year, though, there was no primary activity and we had the date of Santa’s tour of the city on the calendar so we were waiting to hear the sirens. When we heard them and they sounded like they were close we got all the kids into shoes and coats, and after instructing them to not go past the side walk (and definitely not into the street) we let them outside.
