So every year the Japanese and American fire departments ride through base housing and throw out candy to the lil rugrats that cheer them on. Last year, we went to the demonstration at the fire house.
That's where Elijah was able to 'put out' fires with hoses, roll the hose up, get dressed in all the fire fighters gear, practice stop, drop and roll techniques and crawl through a smoke-filled house. ......ummm Elijah couldn't go this year because he got in trouble in school twice last week for talking too much! ARGHHHH! Really? I mean your mom works in the SAME building! He should probably be on his BEST behavior....not so much!
It was a rough 3 day weekend for the lad! It's a good thing the Lord's mercies are new every morning because mom and dad's aren't.
CHECK OUT THE LOOT!
3 things to look out for:
1. The Japanese fire trucks look so different from American fire trucks.
2. Did you notice the way Elijah did not use his pockets to put the candy in so that he could get more?
3. The readiness of Elijah to run out into the middle of the street - IN FRONT OF A 3 TON FIRE TRUCK - to get the candy that was in the street?
