Safety Town

We are enjoying summer and last week Nana and Gray went to his first scheduled activity, Safety Town. He and his friend Cash spent the week learning all about the rules of the road, personal safety and fire safety.

They walked and rode bikes around a mini-town to learn how stoplights, crosswalks and road signs work, in addition to enjoying tours of a firetruck and ambulance. On the day the firemen came, Gray chatted up the guys and though it was cool that they knew his Uncle Levi.

Safety Town is run by our local Police Dept. and on the day of "graduation" one of the police officers tried to convince the kids that police were the coolest of the first responders. Gray enjoyed the officer instructors, but I don't think there's anything they could do to compete with his love of fire fighters. Hopefully they didn't take it personally.

After graduation, adults were allowed in to Safety Town so the boys showed us their favorite spots. This mini railroad crossing was a big hit.
