Divine Intervention?

The other day, Liz was driving to the farmer's market, located in the primary event venue here in Waco, the Heart Of Texas Coliseum. She noticed quite a bit of commotion on the other side of the building, flashing lights all over the place. After the kids ate their mandatory peach intake at the farmer's market, they went to investigate.

They stumbled upon an emergency services awareness event designed for schoolkids. Most of the departments in the surrounding communities sent at least one emergency vehicle that was opened for the kids to crawl through - a fire truck, police car, ambulance, SWAT vehicle, helicopter (two actually, one landed while they were there), and tuns of others. Talk about nirvana for a 5 year old and an 18 month old!

Not only were the vehicles open, but representatives from each of the departments were there to pass out gifts to the little ones. Matthew got this fire hat and walked around with it on for quite some time.
