Home Depot Workshop: October 2016

We are currently on our drive out to Disneyland so it will be pretty quiet on here for the next few days while we are there celebrating Everly's 5th birthday but before we left for California Justin took Everly to our favorite Home Depot Kids Workshop. This month's workshop was the same from exactly one year ago: a firetruck. Now that it is not 100 degrees at 8 am they can have the workshop outside. I don't know if they do this every year in October but last year they also had it outside with a bunkhouse and lots of other trucks for the kids to see. I posted about it with a video from last here HERE. Last year Everly made a yellow firetruck which is actually the color of them in Glendale where we live but this year she decided to go with a traditional red truck. She had fun in the bounce house and would have stayed longer if she didn't have to go to her service project with her soccer team. I will be back next week with lots and lots of pictures from our trip!

 

Home Depot Kids Workshop: October 2015

It is no secret we are fans of the Free Kids Workshops at Home Depot. You can check out some of our other projects here. We missed some in the summer but did not want to miss out on the first fall project. This project was building a fire truck and it was finally not 1 million degrees out, yay! This day they also had a bounce house, a fire truck for the kids to tour and a sheriff's truck as well. Cameron and Everly both loved the bounce house. Teddy is still not that into it but he had fun painting. To be honest, the dads still do a lot of the construction, but the kids have fun so it's all worth it. Best part is its FREE! If you don't already take advantage of this in your area you should definitely look into it.

 

bounce house fun!

 

these two!

Fire Station Visit

Last week my sister mentioned she was going to take the boys to get a tour at a local fire station that one of our old high school friends works at. I asked her if she would take Ev with her and she said yes so today Aspen went to daycare and Everly went to my sister's house in the morning so she could go tour the fire station with them. Everly loves to do anything with her cousins and I am pretty sure all kids love fire trucks so she was pretty excited. I wish I could have gone too but I am glad I have family that is willing to do these things with my kids. My mom and other sister ended up going as well. The kids got to ride on the truck through the neighborhood, play with the hose, tour the house and see where they sleep, and look at all of the equipment. I briefly talked to Everly about it on the phone and she seemed to have a good time and by the looks of the pictures my sisters sent me they all had a blast. Great start to a long Memorial Day Weekend!Thanks Jen, Fire Station #35, and to all of the police officers, fire fighters, and men and women in the armed services that keeps us safe!

 

so cute!
