The fire truck coming to pick her up!

Mom and Emmelyne after a really fun night
I still go on and on about how much we love it here in
Penryn. It feels a little like
Mayberry, from the Andy Griffith Show, sometimes. Last week I got a phone call from the school
secretary telling me that
Emmelyne had been selected to be the
Penryn Firefighters Student of the month ( 1 child chosen from the whole school) and wanted to get my permission if that was
ok. I said that was fine. In my mind I am wondering why she even called to ask since I am thinking that this would be a little shake of the hand and a certificate. (
That's how it was when I was in school) Well this was something quite different! She
had to get my permission first because the fire department would be coming to pick her up in the firetruck at our house and take her back to the station and make dinner for her there and then bring her home. What a treat!
Emmelyne has been counting down the days and it finally came last night. We were outside waiting for them to arrive and because of the orientation of our house we can see cars coming down the hill before they even turn down our road. We saw the truck and realized that it was taking a long time to come down our road. They probably didn't know if they would be able to turn around so Brigham ran down and let them know that it would work. Guess who rode down with the firemen down our driveway - Brigham! He was thrilled.
Emmelyne chose me to go with her and we enjoyed a VERY bumpy and curvy ride back to the
fire station. I am so glad that I did not get sick. We got a little tour and met a lot of nice firemen and the chief. Then we enjoyed a dinner prepared by them of hamburgers and french fries. We sat through a board meeting and then they took us home. They put on the lights and siren for us to announce our return. So fun and
definitely a
night to remember. Like I said before where else does this happen? Only in
Mayberry!

That is great! How fun! Don't tell austin, he will be so jealous. He loves fire trucks. what did Hudson think of the whole thing?
Great job Emmelyne!
Yea for Emmelyne! What a fun night. I cannot believe that you didn't get 'fire truck' sick on your ride to and from the fire station... and on your curvy road?! Maybe you're growing out of car sickness, Danee!!
Glad you two had a fun mommy/daughter evening.
:)
What fun!! I've never heard of Fire child of the year before!! What a great idea and what can be better than a dinner made for you by a bunch of fireman?!!!!
Wahoo Emme!
