Police Night Out and a new toy!

Police Departments around the nation hold National Night Out. It is an evening where the community comes together to see some cool demonstrations, have food and some giveaways. This was mine and Madeline's first time attending and it was quite interesting. Fire trucks were there. The canine dogs did a neat demonstration and then Mark's SWAT team did one as well. It was quite impressive but also a little unsettling. I rarely see him in action mode and in this instance, the team was taking down a fleeing car with criminals. The SWAT truck was also there and the kids could see and hold some of the equipment. It is all quite heavy and I am thankful they have it. If your community holds one of these, I would recommend going. It was a fun evening.

Here is Madeline with a badge and headphones.

Madeline received an awesome present from Nana and Grandad. This pink Harlely Davidson Power Wheel! I am actually a little jealous as I never had a power wheel. Just a hot cycle you had to pedal. She loves this thing. She is such a pro now. I have to charge it often.
