I was a field trip mama today for the boy at Safety CIty. It is a miniature replica of our fair city. The children learn about traffic safety and fire safety over the course of the day. They get to ride in little motorized cars and on bikes through the streets, stopping at lights and railroad crossings and following traffic signs. They also get to go through a little house designed to show fire and safety hazards. The house is also equipped with basically a fog machine that simulates smoke for teaching them how to escape from a house on fire. It is a fun place to go, but those ladies in charge mean business. They are serious and no shenanigans are allowed. When the children were driving, I was stationed near the KPD headquarters:
The boy did properly crab walk out of the window onto the safe parch outside, escaping the dangerous smoke:
His teacher, who has been on this field trip numerous times, knew how to prepare himself in the fire house when the kids were taught the proper way to scream for help if they did not have a safety ladder:
The man was right to cover his ears. Fire and rescue from the next county will be able to hear those children.
After all of that, I am ready for bed. Say a prayer for my oldest tomorrow. She will be auditioning for the high school drum line and is scared to death. Send calming thoughts and prayers her way. Night all.
