Today at the Student Stake Center, there was an Emergency Preparedness fair. There were booths on food storage, 72 hour kits, water storage, Red Cross and other such things. The things Andrew enjoyed the most was the fire truck, ambulance and helicopter. Yes, they had a helicopter there. So cool!
Trying out the police motorcycle. He was not a fan.
Exploring the helicopter. He loved all the buttons.
Trying out the fire truck. He thought it was cool too.
Even Smoky the Bear was there. At first Andrew was a little leery of him, but after a bit he warmed up to him and gave him lots of “5’s.” He then followed him around the church for quite awhile.
They had a kids table to color at.
We had a good time and got some great information and questions answered on how to prepare for any disasters. Even before the disasters in Japan hit, Aaron and I have been feeling like we need to get our food storage together and get things ready in case of an emergency. When we were in Spokane we went to the cannery to see how start our food storage and how everything works there. Our next home project is to expand the garage and we are going to build a food storage room in there. It will be nice to have a place to organize everything for our family.
