Family night Fun



Blayne has always wanted to be a firefighter for as long as I can remember. The fire station would be his reward for his many trips back and forth to the hospital. Last night we decided it might be fun to visit the fire station without actually being in the hospital. We used family night to learn about fire safety. I think we on the tour with the firefighters for an hour and 1/2. Blayne couldn't get enough. Even the girls were into it. Sydney wanted to see the needles they use on the ambulance to start I.V.'s . I know pretty sad that she knows so much about the medical field already. The firefighter was honestly going to let her put the needle into his arm, Sydney would of done that in a heartbeat, but I told her she needed to wait until she was older to stick sharp objects into strangers arms. I was a great night. The Firefighters were so friendly towards the children. They even gave us little fire hat to take home. Blayne fell asleep with his in his bed just in case he was called out to help with a fire in the middle of the night.
This is the jet sky the fire fighters use for water rescues on Utah Lake.

Wow! Our family nights are pretty darn boring next to that one!

That is awesome. It's hilarious that the firefighter would let her stick the needle in his arm. That is classic.

We need to come to your house for family night. As we're pouring through the Old Testament, you're riding on fire trucks.

Fishing in Herriman

Kaley's big one. Kaley didn't have the patience to cast and wait for the fish to bite. I'm not sure how she managed to leave the pole in the water long enough to catch anything.

Kristyn fishing (kind of)

I think Kristyn would rather sit back and relax, and stay as far away from the fish as possible

Sydney' fish

Sydney was getting tired of fishing so she was reeling in the line to pack up and go home. She couldn't beleive it that there was a fish attached to the end of the pole

Blayne was ready for fishing before anyone

Blayne is quite the fishing pro. He has his own spiderman pole and his fishing hat.
