My sister-in-law called me one morning and told me that some Firefighters would be at a park near them spraying children. I couldn't stop laughing at the thought and was so excited that I could hardly stand it. Oh my, was it ever fun. You could not have been there and not have a smile from ear to ear the whole time. I can't wait to do it again next year. I am dying for the station by our house to come do it for us, I made one attempt to arrange it and failed. I may give it another try. Does anyone in our neighborhood know the firefighters down the street? Can anyone pull some strings? I think it was the funnest, happiest evening of our summer, for kids and adults alike.
We sort of developed a crush on the firemen (come on, who doesn't?) In fact, my mom suggested I take a picture of the back of their shirt and as I was shooting she said, "Jane, I told you to shoot his back, not his rear end!" ha ha ha, she was kidding people!

Hose me DOWN, these pictures are amazing!! The rainbow!
That was too fun - I felt like a little kid.
(And thank you for not posting the, um, wet t-shirt contest.)
When I move to Utah, will you and Dawn promise to call me when this happens again?
Ok... wait, I got caught up for a moment with the thoughts of hot firemen with hoses, I mean smiles, dancing in my head...
I should have said... If I move to Utah...
Your photos bring back the fun fun fun!! I will always treasure my trophy from the WTC!
Susan, I'm impressed! That is one trophy I would love to see.
Next time, Jane you will have to call us.
I LOVE THIS POST! GREAT PICS and look how much fun everyone is having. We need to get this at our park!!!!!
I love your photography style, Jane! These photos are awesome!
Love the rainbow! We did this same thing once at a birthday party, the kids loved it!
There is one at station 55 named Burt Lemon, He is totally awesome and might be willing to do it for us. I also know another wjfd, that might be able to help to!
Oh my goodness, that looks like so much fun! I love summer!
Looks like an absolute blast. A neighbor of mine has an uncle over at 55. Maybe I could talk to her about doing this.
I love this! Who doesn't like spraying kids with water? The look like a Norman Rockwell picture.
I love how they created a rainbow! And let the kids hold the hoses! How fun! What nice firemen.
I heart firemen too...especially when their name is Paul.
Please let me come to this next time!
Remember the story of Julie Eagleston's son when he was asked by a fireman what he wanted to be when he grew up and he said, "A woman"?
Oh, Jane!! Thanks for that post!! I double heart firefighters myself! And I LOVED the one you called cute, I laughed and laughed recalling a certain card you sent me in college. Oh, I love you!
