Ryan was able to go with Trevor on a field trip to the fire station and took some great pictures. It's all Trevor talked about when he came home. For FHE that night, we thought it would be a good idea to brush up on our escape techniques. We practiced escaping from our bedroom windows (I should say, the kids did; Ryan pushed the alarm, and I timed them). It was really good practice for both of them. Trevor's bed is against the window wall, so he was able to stand on his bed and get the windows unlocked and the much needed leverage to open the window. Kayla's bed is not, and she had to figure out how to get up high enough to unlock the windows and get the strength to push the window open. I was pretty impressed that she figured it out by herself (she has a chair in her room, and she used that).

I highly recommend you do this with your kids!!!! We hope to do a practice soon,when they really are asleep in bed!
