Fire Prevention Week in Texas October 8-14, 2006


Hi Everyone! Here are some shots of a recent trip to the Fire Station with the kiddos! The firefighters had an amazing presentation for us! This is Fire Staion #4. It is located by the airport and services all including the airport. The kiddos always love to see the water show that the green fire engine presents for us! It is used only for airplanes. We love all of our firefighters all around the world.!! Thank you for all that you do for us!!!

You guys(guy and gal) are too cool!

Hi Moggie!! Thanks! Nope, didn't get to try that out but I bet it sure would've been fun!! I have gotten to go for a ride on that green fire engine, though, and it was alot of fun!! They also always let us try on their uniforms and gear but I'm always too shy to try it...heehee. Thanks for your kind words!! :)

Hiya Whisky! Hey, hey, hey settle down now...heeheehaahaa! You are so right...Cheers to their bravery!! New found and eternal friends sounds great!! Glad I was able to help you out with your Grrr...heehee!

Bye guys! :)

Hugs galore go out to both of you!,

Hi Sandra. Nothing like firefighters to stir up a kid's excitement. Good of you to take them there and share the experience with us.

Have a great weekend!

Hi Tanya! You are sooo sweet! Thanks! I'm glad you are enjoying my pictures! I've been struggling lately to find something interesting to photograph. Hopefully I'll post something new soon! Friends from Austin visiting New Zealand...Wow..that is sooo cool! I hope you had a great visit! Thanks for thinking of me! That is so sweet of you! I happen to have a brother that graduated from UT at Austin. He is a longhorn fanatic...heehee! He now lives in Denver, Colorado and has taken up photography as a hobby! He has sold several of his photos. But has he bothered to give me one..NOPE! Seriously, I really would like for him to treat with one. My other brother, who also loves photography, (La Vernia blog) has tried to get him to start a blog but hasn't succeeded in convincing him yet. Anyway, thanks for thinking of me! I'm smiling BIG! Great hearing from you! Bye from Texas! :)

Hiya Whisky!! You're so awesome!! Thanks so much for the sweet message!! Glad I could help brighten your day a little! Thanks for making me feel so special! I changed your link name. I like this one much better. :)

I completely agree, just because I can't see you guys and gals doesn't meant I don't care about you! You are cared about just as much as my friends that I can see here. :)

For now, I'll love you and leave you knowing that every time I look at the moon now I will be thinking of all of you!

Hi Sandra,

Those are some awesome photos. I specially love the one with the firetruck and the beautiful clouds behind it...
Thanks for your comments on my blog, I had gotten the first one but had to delete that posts because I thought the news was a little bit pre-mature.
Seeing all these photos that evryone takes from all over the world makes me feel like I am there all at once, it's wonderful to be part of it...thanks for sharing.

Hugs!!!
