We walked out of Women's Bible Study and one block away there were three fire trucks. Burl saw them. His little buddy James saw them too. James' mom and I took them down there to see the action-a front digger crashed into a pole. Just like that, the worst part of one person's day became the highlight of Burl and James' day. We stood and watched for a while. I was loaded down with Fern strapped to me, a heavy purse with my bible study books and camera {luckily}, all while holding back a very excited Burl.
We turned and started to walk back. While I let Burl touch one of the trucks, the firemen approached us. They asked if Burl would like to get in. He gave a very enthusiastic "yeah" and I passed him off to one of the firemen. It was a pretty big deal.
Burl is all boy. I love that my boys are interested in trucks & things like that too now. They have the biggest time watching the trash truck come around on Monday- they run to the window when they hear it coming.
