Frugal party planning-firetruck fun



Are your kids attracted to fire trucks as much as mine? With good reason, my children can not get enough of the trucks, or the men who risk their lives to put out fires. We had a great time celebrating the boys with these very simple firetruck decorations at their party!









I ordered this cake pan and chocolate mold from Amazon, and when they came I just KNEW our party was going to be special!








We paid our local fire department a visit, and asked them if they would have time to stop by our party and visit with the kids. Saturday morning I got a call first thing from fire fighter Steve, who said they'd love to bring a truck by our party. The kids were playing games, when lo and behold, a fire truck pulled up right in front of our house! The kids loved climbing up on the truck, and the men got a kick out of the small children's admiration. I'm sure the neighbors were wondering what was going on, but we had a great experience! The crew even turned their siren off as they blared away.....SUCCESS! ;-)





The kids all had fire hydrant drink cups, that doubled as bowling pins for the game we played before enjoying a simple snack of cheese and crackers, little smokies (Har har), and carrot sticks.
