Connor's dad is a Fire Leiutenant on the Atkinson Fire Deparment. His Pa is the Fire Chief and his Uncle Andy is on the department as well. Connor loves to visit the fire station and is lucky to be able to go as often as he wants. He does not always like it when daddy has to leave for a fire call, however, and makes it very clear. As soon as the pager goes off he points to his ear telling us to listen, but then cries really loudly so we can't actually hear what the call is. It is sad, but Makayla usually tries to explain to Connor that daddy won't be gone long and he is leaving to help people. The strange thing is, even if it is during the day and daddy is at his full time job, Connor will still cry when the pager goes off because he associates that noise with being sad. Hopefully soon he will realize that his daddy has to leave to help someone who may be hurt.
Today was the open house at the fire station. Connor and Makayla got to go for a ride in the fire truck and tour the fire station again. Connor was not too thrilled with the truck ride, but was happy crawling around the open space since all of the trucks were pulled out of the station.
