San Diego Fair and Fire Expo

Yesterday was the annual Fire Expo at the San Diego Fair and you better believe we were first in line.  Not only was there a firetruck parade with pumpers, ladder trucks, ambulances, brush rigs...

They set a car on fire and then pur it out, staged a car accident victim retrieval, showcased K-9 dogs and even let the kids participate in a hose pull, house escape, and learn how to use a fire extinguisher.  In Jack and Charlie's eyes - THE BEST DAY EVER!

The funniest moments of the day were watching Charlie "stop, drop and roll" -  My Mom took them over to the free t shirt booth where we told Charlie to roll and he just listens and starts rolling on the floor, has no idea why or what he's getting for it.  HILARIOUS. Here's the video.

And the funniest thing was when the boys entered the fire safety house to see how quickly a room can fill up with theatrical smoke...LOL.  Well lets just say Charlie thought it was the real deal and while we are watching all the kids climb down the ladder, we hear stomping footsteps through the trailer and here comes Charlie running for his life.  It was as if someone had caught him on fire.  He was like "screw the window, I know where the door to this joint is."

Here are a ton of pictures of the fair and the Fire Expo.  Large post today.

 Ans let's not forget the brilliant people watching and food we also enjoyed at the fair.
