The best things in life are free…

I tell myself this a lot and remind myself constantly that I am so blessed to have such a rich life but I love it when something seemingly small happens that is a shock reminder of how true this little saying really is. On the weekend we had planned to take Flynn to the WA Maritime Museum, it was something we had wanted to do all summer and we knew we had to fit it in before the weather started to turn. As we drive down on this sunny Saturday I was thrilled to see that the local fire station had all of the trucks lined up outside the fire station (washing them all down). Now Flynn is just about as obsessed as you can get with Fire Engines- he talks about them ALL day long so I pointed them out to him as we were about to drive past. I then turned to Simon in a split second and said “lets pull in quickly and he can get out and have a proper look”.

So we  parked and walked over the road and Flynn was seriously enchanted. His little face was just so priceless it just made my heart melt he could not stop talking to all of the fire men, pointing out the different trucks and the ladders and hoses etc. Then all of a sudden one of the Firemen offered for Flynn to sit in the truck (so so sweet I thanked  him over and over, he was just so kind) and he was smitten/shocked/thrilled beyond belief I don’t think  he knew quite what to think.

Love that look of complete shock and he will not let go of that sticker- I had had to adhere it to some card a laminate it !

Still in complete shock-

Can we go back for just one more look/ride-
