OK, since we let the girls have a day off of school yesterday we are calling our Memphis trip a "Field Trip"!
Mom and I had been trying to find somewhere to take the kids while we were there. After discussing the zoo, The Children's Museum, and the Fire Museum of Memphis, we decided on the latter...the Fire Museum. Carl went with us because he didn't want us walking alone and I think he enjoyed it as much as the kids!! I knew that Trey would love it, but I wasn't too sure that they would have much for the girls. I was very pleased that they really enjoyed it too!

They were a little irritated with all my picture taking.
By one of the old firetrucks
Trey and Makena were taking a ride (a pretend ride)
on the firetruck
This was a really cool simulation fire lift...it made it
look like they were actually putting out a fire in a tall building
and it lifted them up and down...VERY COOL!
Now, Makena and Trey put out a fire!
