A Day with the Cousins

William and Timothy were thrilled to play together

Playing on the hill.

We have been curious to see just how long it would take before the boys started climbing the hillside.

SNOW

First (real) Snowfall

It was snowing when the kids woke up from their naps. William was SO excited. He could not wait to romp around in the snow. We bundled up and headed outside.

The driveway needed (not really) to be shoveled

William in training

Working hard

Almost done

Annabel all bundled up and watching

We came inside to warm up with a mug of hot coco

YUMMY!

**William is NOT into posing for pictures these days so this is the best I could get**

Fire Station

Field Trip

Today William's preschool took a trip to a local fire station. It is on the larger ones in Reno which means it is a busy one. While we were there they had a Hazmat call.

Kitchen- Classmates got a kick out of the rolling chairs, newspapers, and 4 refrigerators.

Averi and William checking out the "pole"

Apparently, two story fire houses are no longer built. So this pole is rare.

A call came in so the fire house was quickly emptied. The kids enjoying seeing the "action" of the sirens, men getting dressed, loading up and fire trucks taking off. Bummer that our tour ended so quickly. We were not able to check out the engines.
