Tonight Grandma, Pop-pop and I took the kids to National Night Out at Mennen Arena in Morris Plains. Nicholas had the opportunity to meet lots of paramedics, police officers, firefighters and other civil servants that he might, but hopefully won't, encounter in his life!
The entire event is designed to expose families and community members to people in the surrounding communities who are available to help them in a variety of situations. It's a free night out with food, lots of freebies for the kids and we even had the chance to meet a popular hockey player! Nicholas got a coloring book and a police badge and an autographed picture of Ken Daneyko from the NJ Devils. I tried to get Nicholas stand with the NJ Devil but he wasn't too keen on it, so I did it in the hopes that he would join me. No such luck!
All in all the night was a fun time! Nicholas loved checking out all the police gear and motorcycles and firetrucks. After wandering around snapping some photos we headed into town and met Daddy for pizza. It was a really nice way to spend a Summer evening!
