We went to the Clackamas County Fire Safety Fair (this was actually at the end of September, but I just found the pictures). The girls are pretty lucky to get to climb on and in fire trucks and rescue vehicles on a regular basis, so they were not interested in seeing all of the fire and rescue vehicles at the fair. But, what they were very interested in was the inspector booth that was also set up at the fair. They waited very patiently in line to apply for a "builders permit" to make and hang a bird house in our yard. They had to show the official where they wanted to place their complete birdhouse and they both received an "approved" stamp on their permit and a safety helmet for their head.
They then waited in line to build a bird house. They loved the hammering and the process of making the bird houses. I loved the finished projects that now hang in our backyard. What a fun and free way to spend our day!
