After dinner at Panda Express (Lea's favorite!), we went for a walk. There is a fire burning a mulch farm nearby (it's under control and mostly smoldering now), but we walked towards the fire truck at the end of our neighborhood. The kids had a great time running the path and pretty excited to see the fire truck. There was one firefighter manning the truck and a long line of hose running from the truck to the fire area which was about a quarter mile away. He was nice enough to let Jeff and Lucas climb in the truck to sit for a minute (I didn't listen to that little voice and had no camera to take the picture!!!) Lea had her ears covered and wasn't interested in climbing in because she had already seen a fire truck at school. Thank you to the firemen and women and police that protect our neighborhood. This is the second fire very close to our home and people we know. We have never been in jeopardy, but it's not fun to see smoke and flames visible from the backyard.
Lea and I walked pushing Abbey in the stroller while Jeff and Lucas ran ahead. The walk was to wear Lucas out.
She asked if the lights were on all the time.
me: No, they only come on at night so we can see when it's dark.
Lea: No she told me, not those lights, the other ones.....
me: huh?
Lea: The behavior lights (the street lights at the intersection).
me: Oh those ones!! Those are on all the time.
For those without kindergarteners - the behavior lights are the discipline for the classroom. Green- good, yellow - warnings and red - no good. :)
