Happy Sunday!

Yesterday we met Angie and the kids at the Dubuque Farmer’s Market.  It  was a nice day for touring the market and we hadn’t gotten very far when Josh ran into a classmate of his.  I couldn’t pass up this photo opportunity.  🙂

After touring the market for awhile we ended up at the Dubuque Fire Fighters’ display.   Each week they bring some of their equipment including their rescue vehicle, aerial truck and a pumper.  The firemen hand out stickers to the kids and answer their questions about the equipment and being a fire fighter.

Gabby was pretty proud of her badge.  🙂

While we were there Angie ran into a fellow nurse who also is a fireman.  He gave Josh a special treat of putting on the bunker fire gear complete with Captain’s helmet and let him sit in the driver’s seat of the big aerial truck.

I have the greatest respect for fire fighters, first responders and all the public service folks that let us go about our daily lives without much concern.

It was a fun morning spent with the kids.  Later in the afternoon I did a hard bike ride of 25 miles out to Peosta and back.  Difficult because of the head wind and the steeper hills.  It was a good ride however.

That’s it for today.  Thanks for stopping by.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
