Then they learned how to wash your hands well. There was a special lotion that you rubbed on your hands and put under a black light to see how well you spread it around. After that you washed your hands with soap and water and checked to see how well you washed the lotion off under the black light. It was pretty cool.
They also got a chance to sit in a seat with a seat belt and be lifted forward by a police officer and feel the seat belt holding them in. It was a good lesson in wearing you seat belt the right way. (When we were leaving, Isaak got in the van and even asked me to help him get his seat belt on nice and tight.)
The boys were very impressed with a simulator of car crashes complete with crash dummies falling out if they didn't wear their seatbelts. Then they got a chance at an obstacle course, a ride through safety town and a demonstration on electricity. The boys also got a personal lesson by a fireman on stop, drop and roll. And I can't forget the inflatable fire truck slide-very cool! Grace enjoyed watching McGruff, Louie Lightening Bug and Sparky walking around.
I was so impressed at all the volunteers and how kind and patient they were with the kids. They each took time to explain things to the kids and talk to them on their level. It was a fun day and even a little learning.
