Everybody Loves Fire Trucks (Except Thomas)

A few days ago one of my friends who runs with the volunteer Corinne Fire Department brought their newly decked-out brush truck over to the house to demonstrate some of its neater gadgets. He has built a bumper mounted hose that has a remote control inside the cab of the truck. You don't even have to get wet to fight brush fires in this rig. Thinking that Thomas would love to see this, I brought him out. Apparently little fire trucks are neat, but the big ones aren't. Hmmmm. We coaxed (pushed) him into the cab for a photo, but happiness was just not in him, and he remarked to Mary in toddler-speak how scary the whole experience was.

At least Ellie was a good sport
