We raced home from the Bethesda/Chevy Chase firehouse, ate lunch, and then sped off to one of the Kensington firehouses for Will's friend's birthday party. So...more firetrucks and fun for Will.
Maggie and Stella still had fun, but they were tired from the morning.
Will and his buddies had a blast, though. They got a tour of the firehouse, a demonstration from a firefighter on how to put on all of his gear, and they got to walk through the rear of this fire engine.
To everyone's surprise, Will's fireman waterpack arrived while we were gone. So while the girls slept in the car, Will got to field-test his waterpack (it's pretty awesome and shoots farther than you'd think). Between the authentic outfit, boots, various helmets and waterpack, he thinks he is quite the little firefighter. You might see more of this around Halloween...
