Our weekends have settled into a sort of routine. It’s either we head out to find some fun somewhere or we’re back to our parents. A bit uninteresting I would say. But boring isn’t always a bad thing.
Anyway, his dad decided that we should visit the fire station this weekend and so we did that yesterday. This is the second time we visited one. The first was to the Central Fire Station about two years back. I think boys are always intrigued by these huge red vehicles and mine thoroughly enjoyed himself climbing up the seats and spraying water with the hose and mist gun.
The trip was really meant to divert his interest in volcanoes which is getting a little obsessive and it’s working alright. Right now as I’m typing this, he’s on YouTube watching videos about fire engines. And I think this new interest is going to last a couple of weeks until something new catches his attention. Which may well mean that we’ll be going around fire stations every Saturday for the next couple of weeks!
Definitely a hell of a lot more interesting than ours..

heheheheehhe!! you’ll have to find things to divert his attention all the time from the current obsession then! but it helps to keep the zest in the weekends! i remember giving my parents grief by being obsessed with any one thing for months at a time. think strawberry ice-cream. every meal had to be accompanied with that. ;P
