Bam is VERY into all things related to fire engines; therefore, Bob knows a lot about fire engines although he doesn't show quite the same level of interest. In the last few months we have even discovered an author, Chris Demarest, who has written several books about fire fighting. We first discovered this book:
Then about a month ago at our library we found another one of his books:
In this book the fire engines are green which Bam had to question because city fire engines are either red, white or yellow. So we started talking about how the US Forest Service has green fire engines. Bob surprised me the other day when he saw this book and said "Hotshots." On the inside cover of this book, it lists two other books--one about smokejumpers, and one about about coast guard rescues, Bob's other obsession. So off we went to the library in search of these two books.
After reading the smokejumpers book, Bam was determined to create a smoking jumping costume so we did while Bob was napping. We had almost everything for it but I need to come up with a better parachute. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures.
