Safety Town

For the past couple of weeks, Parker has attended a local Parks & Rec program called "Safety Town." It's a two-week long camp of sorts specifically designed for kids who are 4-5 years old, to teach them about different kinds of safety. He learned all about animal, water, bicycle, poison, school bus, fire, & tornado safety, stranger danger/bad touching, and calling 9-1-1. They also learned the pledge of allegiance & had recess each day - it was like mini-kindergarten! He loved it. Although I have to say, the "graduation" they held at the end rivaled my own high school graduation. Parents dressed up & flashing cameras everywhere. It was a little bit over the top.

Here he is with his favorite police officer and the director of Safety Town, Officer Galli.

With McGruff & Sparky, the Fire Dog.

And here is "Safety Town," where they learned bicycle safety by riding trikes around "town."
