We had scheduled this event for the day after the twins club Santa event long before knowing Owen and Oliver would freak out when it was time to meet and greet Santa up close. So we went into it half expecting the boys to start screaming again when they were ushered over to Santa for a photo. But...the power firetrucks currently have over them prevailed! They were so excited when we pulled into the fire station and saw a truck outside that they insisted on sitting down on the sidewalk and just watching for a bit. Little did they know there was a bright, shiny firetruck for them to explore inside! They got a tour from a volunteer fire fighter and were allowed to climb all over the back of the truck. Owen made sure to push his baby brother around to see the firetruck, which Spencer thoroughly enjoyed. And when it came time for the picture... all it took was a simple "look, Santa's in front of the fire truck...let's go see" and we were in! Owen was still timid, and I don't think either would have made it onto his lap, but that was Spencie's spot anyway.
