On Saturday Ro and I walked down to Riverside Park to watch the firemen empty the hoses of the firetrucks into the Huron River. There was a not-so-surprisingly large community turnout for this event; Ypsi is a poor town, but one that will take any seemingly menial chore and turn it into cause for a celebration. Plus there was free pizza and plastic firehats to tempt us into joining the fun :)
Rowan climbed aboard the firetrucks, though he liked the ones his own size the best.
Even though it was a chilly day, I bundled Ro in his footie pjs and let him run through the mist drifting down over the deck. He watched in facination as water poured into the river below.
After changing into dry clothes he ran amok through the antique firetrucks dsiplayed on the lawn.
As summer ends, I hope we can go out and enjoy the sun a little every day. Lord knows we'll miss it this winter!
