After spending a few hours at the museum, we went back to grandmas for a nap and dinner. Scott's cousin, Ginger, called to invite us to the fire station where she is captain. Although the girls have been to fire stations before, they were eager to go. Ginger made it fun for the kids. They got to try on her captains helmet, sit in her seat in the truck and try out the fire hose. Luke, the girls' cousin, had just one question to ask Ginger. "Could he go for a ride in the fire truck?" Not to disappoint him, she agreed. See Janae's face? She was thrilled to go for a ride. They went around the block, with sirens on. Janae said that a police car even got out of their way. When they got back, Ginger had one of the other firemen extend the ladder for her to climb up, all 100 feet of it. The kids thought is was great! Only adults were allowed to slide all the way down the pole, but the kids were able to hang onto from the bottom end.

We went for a tour of the station also. The kids liked that there was a tv, a kitchen and even beds for the fire fighters, even if they don't get to sleep much. Addyson's favorite part was when the dispatcher announced on the radio a welcome to the Neff family at Station #6. "How in the world did she know we were there???" It was way more exciting than any tours the girls have gone on before! Thanks Ginger!

And you say there's nothing to do in Wyoming (oh wait, lots of those pictures are Utah, oops). You have seriously been crazy busy all summer long! I love the girls toe nails and fingers, oh how I could use a pedicure.
