Hello again, fire station!

Last Saturday, we went to Alexandra Fire Station. Unlike previously, we had to register for the visit and wait for email confirmation. I had issues with the form some months ago but looks like it's all fixed...

This was our third visit there - we brought Kai in 2014, and both Kai and Yang in 2016, but none of them remembered anything!

So hard to get them up for a picture...

Checking out the heavy hose thing

Papa looks bored, haha!

My little firemen!

One for each :)

Time to hose down a fire broom!

Must use strength

Why so cool, one hand in pocket??

These two had fun playing with water too

Don't remember this sign from last time

Yu really wanted to go on an ambulance. He asked the sergeant who did the tour but was told all ambulances were out and the last one was locked. But before we left, an ambulance came back. He went to ask a paramedic and yeah, he managed to get on an ambulance!

Finally :) 

These two were very interested

May we never ever need an ambulance!

Actually, the kids didn't really listen to the tour explanations, as expected. But luckily there were enough hands-on experiences. Yang and Yu were more interested compared to Kai. Anyway, this is probably the last trip to the fire station for the rest of their childhood!

We had lunch at Ikea. Lucky to get seats coz while we were eating, the food queue extended to outside the restaurant! 

Spent a couple of hours roaming the showrooms and shopping. The kids really enjoyed the showrooms, trying out sofas and beds and fiddling with all the knick knacks they could get their hands on.

Happy to be near this Ikea again. We'll be back for more chicken wings and showroom hopping!
