Caleb and I went with Grandmommy on a walk around the park and when we got back we found that Brody had made a new friend. The little boy and Brody took turns riding the bike and pushing each other. They had a lot of fun!
Caleb, Audria, Tyler, and Ann left after lunch time. When we put Brody down for his nap we told him that he was going to get to do something fun when he woke up. Dad grew up with a guy (David) who is now a Deputy Fire Chief. When Brody got up we met David at the fire station for a tour. Here's Brody and Deputy Fire Chief David.
David had a fireman's hat for Brody along with a sticker badge, some pencils, a coloring book, and some trading cards! The real fun began when we went out into the garage. There Brody had the attention of all the firemen and was able to climb on and inside of every vehicle in their garage! Here he is "driving" one of the big fire trucks.
Fireman Lance let Brody try on the headset inside of the pumper truck. It's the truck they use specifically for fighting grass fires.
Don't ask me how, but he convinced them to pull the pumper truck out of the garage...
and let him spray the water hose! It was a hot and humid day, so before long he had his hand in front of the water hose...then his feet. I have to admit that the spray felt really good!
Cindy, Ginger, and McKenna came over before dinner. Cindy made Brody a really cool box car. Then she worked up a sweat pushing him around and around the house. Brody was just laughing and laughing! She even drew a gas pedal and brake pedal for him and gave him a paper plate for a steering wheel. Needless to say...this box came home with us. Now we just need Cindy here to push him around!
Even though our reason for being down in Temple was heartbreaking, we really enjoyed all the time we got to spend with family. I'm sure Daddy Ken would be happy to know that we were still laughing and having fun with the family that he loved so much.

The fire station pictures are really cute! Is that a dog I see hiding under a chair in that last picture?
He is getting so big. Gabriel would love to play with him sometime.
Brody, I need to get into shape so I can push you around next time you come down. That was hard work! But, it was really fun pretending with you! Love you all!
