Visiting the Fire Station

Last Sunday afternoon we took a trip Vegas, to visit Papa Stan (my dad) at the fire station.

As soon as we got there we had to go straight to the fire truck!

Estefan found some awesome, blue surgical gloves and wore them pretty much the whole time we were there!!

After we toured the truck, we got out the fire hose.

Allie and Mark were kinda nervous that Estefan was going to squirt them, so they stayed away.

They were nervous for good reason.. see Dustin's "I'm gonna get you" face??
Thanks for not squirting me babe!

Still has the blue gloves on...

Next we got back in the truck and went for a ride!

Allie found the radios. I think she'd make a pretty good dispatcher.

Dad is the engineer so he drives to the fires and runs the water hoses. He put on his headphones and gave the extra sets to the kids to wear.

Allie and Estefan saying, "Hey! We can hear you!!!!" I think Allie might have even sang a song or two. :)

After a cruise around the parking lot we headed back to the garage....

and then into the living room to take a rest. This is where the real work happens!

Next the kids got to see where Papa Stan sleeps. Dad calls it his little prison. Its pretty tiny cozy!

Then we worked out a little.

Estefan was very serious about working out. He like to watch his muscles in the mirror!

No trip to the fire station is complete without someone getting in Dad's turnouts.
Estefan willingly accepted the invitation, air mask and all!

He walked around in the gear for a quite a while. He looked like ET and breathed like Darth Vadar!

The kids all got souvenir fire hats. Yes Dustin counts as one of the kids! 

Thanks for the tour Papa Stan!!!!
We love you. Be safe!
