Truck Stop

Mom and Dad have really been enjoying living in Castle Rock. It's the type of town where if you have a boy who's obsessed with trucks, the local fire department is more than happy to let him take a close look around its fire engines. So, the other morning while we were out and about, Mom saw the doors open on the downtown fire station and we made an impromptu stop...

...once inside, Jonas met a nice firefighter, who gave him a tour of all the engines and rigs. And as a bonus, Jonas even got to sit behind the wheel!...

...but the most fun was had while inspecting the outside the trucks, including the largest wheels Jonas had ever seen and lots of room to explore in the garage—as long as Dad held on tight...

...luckily for Jonas, we had just taken a book out of the library about fire trucks, which has quickly become a favorite of his...

...he even makes the sound of the siren (which the firefighter seemed to like...), even though Mom and Dad realized later he's probably never heard an actual siren, just the sound Mom and Dad make. Nonetheless, now that he's had a chance to experience the real thing, we're bracing for many more siren sounds to come.
