Cooper's Field Trip

A few days ago, Cooper's second grade class took a field trip to Black Island Farms and the Clinton City Fire Department.  I was able to go to the fire department with Cooper.  I always enjoy spending time with Cooper at school activities.  I also get the opportunity to volunteer in his class twice a month and it is nice to see him on those days.
At the fire department, they told the kids about fire safety.  They also dressed one of the teachers up in a fire suit with all the gear.  The kids thought that was funny.  Afterwards, the kids got to walk through and ambulance and fire truck. They opened all the doors and let the children just look around at their own will.  It was kind of neat to see all the tools they take to fires.

 Cooper also got the chance to use the fire hose.  They let the kids take turns pulling the switch and holding the hose as it sprayed into the air.  Cooper thought there was alot of pressure in the hose.  He enjoyed looking inside the ambulance and hopping up on the back of the truck like he was a fireman!
