This weekend, Granny and Papa came to visit us and we decided to head down to the Houston Fire Museum on Saturday for some fun exploring. I had never heard of this museum until a friend of mine posted a picture of her son on Facebook visiting the museum. Since Molly loves firetrucks and Papa is a retired firefighter, it sounded like a fun place to spend the day.
The museum is housed in an old fire house and contains antique equipment, including a horse-drawn apparatus. There is an upstairs display of the station's original locker and dorm facilities and a play area for the kids with stations for dress up and a fire pole for play.
Molly had a fun time dressing up like a fireman and exploring the museum.
It was definitely a fun day, and a hidden jewel for our city. Aside from the guests at a birthday party that was going on, we were the only visitors there. I definitely encourage any of my Houston area mom friends to take a day and check it out!
