We tried out the Fire Fighter Fun Run at the zoo this year! I didn't know about this event until this year, and it was definitely $5 worth of fun. They got a t-shirt too. 
Ready at the starting line!
Lewis was a little freaked out when the whole crowd took off running so he rode on the stroller with Elias and I. Augustine LOVED it and took off! Logan caught up to him and they ran the entire mile (1/2 mile?) together!
Elias was a really good baby and did this the whole time.
There was Gatorade and water at the finish line.
Another prize was a train ticket! Elias got his first zoo train ticket but we saved it for later because 2 & under don't need a ticket.
All the emergency responders had booths and their vehicles on display.
LES also had a safety demonstration. They showed the kids just how hot and dangerous electrical wires are. My favorite part was when they touched a hot dog to one of the wires and it blew up.
This was a mini house the fire men educated the kids with, and it was really interesting. They taught the kids what to do if they are in a house and there is a fire. They talked about how to escape a fire and then let the kids try...they all came out the window and used the chain ladder to escape.
Of course, we had to check out the fire truck. The fire men had quite a few calls during this event. Three engines were called away and a replacement came each time. Augustine was excited when station 7 showed up.
Over all it was a fun event and we plan to go again!
