My boss, Debbie, was able to arrange a private tour at the Elfin Forrest Fire Station for Lucas (Owen, Rich and I all tagged along). Captain Barker spent lots of time with us - showing us their gear, where the firefighters sleep and the vehicles. We all learnt quite a bit about firefighters and how important they are. Lucas was very clingy in the beginning but opened up towards the end. (When he got to go in the abulance and firetrucks.) What is amazing is he remembers everything she said (even when his head was burried in my shoulder) especially - the part about "When you get a little bigger - I'll take you for a ride in the fire truck." -- We are so thankful for Deb arranging this and Captain Barker taking the time...it is a memory that I don't think Lucas will ever forget.
