Every one was amazing! Kind, gentle and had lots of information. Blaine isn't a fan of people and it goes the same for police offers and other people in uniform. As always I explained that they are there to protect us and they would never hurt you.
He was allowed inside EVERY vehicle there and there were A LOT from all-terrain to boats and the fire trucks. He asked lots of questions about each of the tools and everyone answered every single one of them.
There were 911 dispatchers and Sarnia Jail officers, fire, police, EMT's and even boarder patrol. It was really neat and not only did he learn a lot of new things. So did I!!!
I learned that the drones are not only used to find pot in farmers fields but they are also used by the fire marshals to assess large area fire damages like explosions. It helps them be able to see and even figure out how the fire started and where it traveled. Cheaper than renting a plane, which is what they have had to do in the past.
The homeschool trips where he can interact with EVERYTHING are the best.
Towards the end and mom being cold and tired he walked right to a firefighter and allowed him to show him how to use the hose. The firefighter even touched him and had his arm around him. This was HUGE for Blaine and I was so proud of him!!!
Trust and touch no matter who it is from is hard for him. He has a few select people that he will let touch him but even then on a bad day only mom will do.
Today was a blast and I can't wait to attend the next one, we missed the scent dog which kinda bummed me out and the RCMP didn't have horses lol Blaine was confused why not.
What are your favourite field trips?
