at home depot yesterday, we received an invitation to an open house at a safety center (fire, police, jail) so we decided to check it out. totally worth the trip.
madelyn doing a mock 911 call to practice dialing and giving all of her information
all four kids were given a free eye exam by the lyon's club. they just sat in a chair while a volunteer held up a 'camera' that made bird sounds (to make the kids looks) for a few seconds. we were then given a print out of their results. it tests for astigmatism, myopia, hyeropia and gaze development and we were given a print out for each child. i know our pediatrician is a fan of this exam, but she found that no insurance company would cover it. by the way, all four kids were "in range" (aka normal).
we were given cookies, popcorn, hotdogs, drinks and later found out that they were giving fire department t-shirts to all of the kids (we had thought that they were selling them and weren't able to go back to where the table was set up).
mason thought that the police swat gear was pretty impressive - and heavy!
these two were too cute chatting over hotdogs

madelyn was the only one willing to even approach the fire department dog mascot although mason was willing to give it a high-five - quickly.
we didn't make it over to the jail because we had other stops planned for the day and needed to get going. love.
