Cops and Kids


This past Sunday was the annual Cops and Kids event at Hoff Woods Park in Westerville. We thought the kids might like it, so we loaded them up and off we went to see cruisers, SWAT vehicles, mobile command centers, fire trucks, med flight, you name it.

To say it was a little windy would be an understatement. I've never really considered the fact that a hurricane could disrupt my plans here in Ohio. That's something more up Jason's alley. It was hot and muggy so the "breeze" felt nice, but we made sure we saw what we wanted to see and then got out of dodge, because we had the feeling we weren't going to be safe for much longer.

This better be the only time our kids are in the BACK of a cruiser.



Some of the more interesting vehicles we came across.




Jordis was clearly channeling a message to this firefighter that he had best remove her from the tiny space he hoisted her on to.


We got home and finished dinner just in time before the power went off and the neighbors starting losing vegetation. Luckily our swing set is still standing, which is more than I can say for the people 3 houses down.
