My dad retired from the Cleveland Fire Department. Last Saturday was his last day at the firehouse, so we all loaded up and surprised him at his station party.
First, me and the girls, my mom and brother walked in and surprised him. He was happy to see us, but I don't think he was all that surprised that we came.
Then the Smiths showed up, and he was definitely surprised. And then Jackie walked in and he was most definitely surprised. It was great!!
The kids got right to work playing with the various sort of dirty and inappropriate firehouse things. Like the weight room. Or the "waiting" room, as Kate was calling it.

We finally made it upstairs to play on the really fun stuff.

Evie had enough later in the day.
Our last round climbing on the trucks. It's fun for me to watch the kids play at the firehouse because it's so exciting to them. I always thought it was fun, too. But I was there all the time, so it wasn't as big a deal when I was little. They loved every second of it!
Climbing on the hoses.
Congratulations Dad! We'll be back in a few weeks for the real celebration!
