Meanwhile, my soon to be 21 year old: #ai #writing #college

We took the preschoolers to the fire station for tours (and hats!!) Yountville station even allowed birthday parties to be held (15+ years ago); The kids brought toys-for-tots rather than gifts for child-with-too-many-toys and Dad made a fire truck shaped birthday cake 😊
