Fireman Aiden

My step mom was so upset (as was I) that the shift that was on at the Bartlesville fire department wouldn't come out to his birthday party after the other shift had agreed to do it but since having to move the party to the next night due to rain it wasn't the same shift. I even had the fire chief call and try to get him to ask the lead fireman to do him a favor and he wouldn't budge. I was heartbroken but like any four year old he didn't seem to mind when he had all his buddies there to ride all the rides with him. But lucky for us my cousin is a fireman at a station in Tulsa. My step mom arranged for us to go out to his fire house and not only get a private tour of the station but for the boys to actually get to ride in the fire truck! OMgoodness Aiden was fired up! Before we left the house to go he made me promise to not forget his fire hat, jacket and boots. He did not care that it was 100 degrees out and that it would be burning out in a sleeveless outfit much less boots a jacket and a helmet! But the heat didn't stop him from wearing it the entire 45 minutes we were in the heat! I am so glad that he got to do this! This was such a fun thing for all of us to get to do as a family!
Poor Brady boy was afraid they were going to sound the sirens and it would hurt his ears. But I think he had a fun time!
The firemen were so nice to put on all their gear in the 100 degree heat that day and pose for a picture. They said that since Aiden had all his gear on they could bear the heat for a few minutes to make his day! and make his day it did!



this one is my favorite!
A big thanks to my cousin Josh for making this happen. Aiden loved every second of it!

Love my little fireman!
