Fire Zone

As part of our spring staycation, I took the kids to Fire Zone, a fire engine-themed play center in Schaumburg.  The kids got to wear fireman jackets, slide down fire poles, practice hoisting ladders, pretend to put out fires, and climb on & "drive" a real firetruck.

 The outing ended with a fireman showing the kids all of the gear they have to wear and how to put it on. The fireman who did the presentation did a great job engaging the kids and making them laugh with the antics he threw in.

The kids had fun. I don't know if it is really worth the price of admission, (luckily I had a groupon!), but it was a good experience.  Afterwards, we sent to Wildberry for lunch. On our way out, Clayton, my little charmer, told the hostess station that "they make the best breakfast and lunches EVER!"  The owner/manager was standing right there and was so tickled by his comment, that he gave him a $10 gift certificate to come back.  Woo hoo!
