Fire Safety Town

Last month I went to the Honda dealership in McKinney to have our inspection done. While Melanie & I were in the playroom a mom & 3 kids came in. We got to talking & she asked me what grade Melanie was in. I told her we homeschool her & she's doing kindergarten curriculum. She said "I homeschool too!" So we got to talking even more & she invited us to Fire Safety Town with her church's homeschool group. That was so kind of her! The homeschool group is pretty unofficial. Other than church they get together about every 4-6 weeks or so for a "field-trip." We had such a great time! Everyone was super nice-n-friendly, & polite! After exploring Fire Safety Town we went to a local park to play & have a sack lunch. It was a blast! I look forward to going to another field trip with this little group & getting to know them more. Fire Safety Town was pretty fun. We had a safety lecture/meeting. Then we went into a makeshift kids bedroom on the second story of a house. We learned about what to do if a fire started & smoke came in. The fireman had all of us get down on the ground & crawl to the window. Then he helped us out. Smoke really came into the room-IT WAS CREEPY! And stinky. A couple children, including Melanie got a little creeped out. After that we explored "Safety Town." We rode bikes through the lil town and obeyed the traffic signals. It was a pretty fun experience. Afterwards, Melanie CRASHED on the couch while watching a show. She stayed awake all the way home but just couldn't keep her eyes open any longer.
