Getting things set up for a birthday party at the museum today. In addition to the fun activities inside the museum, we also had a mini firefighter obstacle course. Afterwards, we sprayed some water for the kids and let them look at the fire truck. It was a great afternoon, and fun for everyone.

We had a great week at the Firehouse Museum of Arkansas. Here are a few photos from the Watson Elementary field trip where we had approximately 200 children come by. The students learned about fire safety while we sprayed some water from one of our antique fire engines.

Also in attendance were faculty, Central Arkansas Water, and Arkansas Game & Fish. It was a great time and tons of fun!

The guys on the north side of the river do a great job keeping this rig going. Fun fact, I rode the tailboard of this with my bride as we left our wedding reception in 2013.
