The Home Depot Kids Workshop for October

Every first Saturday of the month I take Truett to participate in the Kids Workshop at the Home Depot.  He absolutely loves it and looks forward to it every month!!  He gets to use a real hammer and nails and create various projects.  This month was their Fire Safety month and they held an extra special event with various vendors, the Rogers Fire Dept, Rogers Police Dept, Carroll Electric Cooperative, NWA Storm Chasers, the EMS, and free hotdogs, popcorn, and drinks!!  We were very excited to have the Brumback family join us for the day.  Truett and Cole really enjoyed themselves!!  Both boys were a little disappointed the Rescue Helicopter wasn't able to make it, but there were plenty of other things there to keep them occupied!!
This month they made model helicopters!  Here is Tru showing his off...

The boys enjoying the police car....


Truett and Cole checking out the inside of the fire truck.  I think this was by far their favorite part of the day!!


The fire fighters using the jaws of life to take apart a car....

Truett thought getting to see the NWA Storm Chasers and their car was just the coolest thing!!

The boys even thought getting to watch them make the popcorn was cool!!!
