All aboard the preschool express!
We couldn’t have asked for a better day! You will have to ask your preschooler what their favorite part was, because the day just kept getting better and better.
The train ride from Garibaldi to Rockaway started off the excitement, and the buzz at the playground kept it going. Our lunch break was perfectly timed, leaving us with just enough time to play a little longer before our next adventure. Then, we went to the RB Fire Station—and what a treat that was! The firefighters were absolutely amazing with the kids. Seeing a fully dressed firefighter was a bit scary for some at first, but those fears quickly faded when the preschoolers got to try on the gear themselves. They also got to sit inside the brand-new firetruck! Just when we thought it couldn’t get any better, each preschooler got a turn to spray the fire hose. After all that fun, we made our way back to the train for our ride home. It was truly a great day!
