Loma Linda Health Fair

We went to the Loma Linda Health Fair on a field trip with Luca's preschool class. I remember going last year when Acacia was just a baby. This year we all enjoyed it even more.

First Stop. . .FREE Jamba Juice Smoothies! The kids' favorite thanks to Daddy.
Luca got a special tattoo from one of the nurses.

The casting booth was one of Luca's favorite booths. The nurse casted his finger. After it hardened, Luca thought it was pretty cool that he had a finger cast he could pull off and put back on. What a fun little toy!

The Lung exibit our favorite booth last year. Actually, Luca has talked about this booth many times since he first saw it. Every time he sees someone smoking he reminds me that smoking turns our lungs from pink to black, and then they don't expand very well. What a true example that really helped Luca understand why smoking is so bad for our health. Even at the age of 4 it made a big impact on him.

Luca with the LLMC mascot. Acacia loved looking at this guy, but she didn't want anything to do with getting near him for a picture. He was only fascinating from a distance.

The fire department had special hoses for the kids to squirt by themselves. What fun for Luca. He had a blast spraying the balloons.

After going into the fire safety truck the firemen handed out little hats. Luca learned about staying low (where the healthier air is) during a fire and that you should dial "911" in case of an emergency.

The surgical department handed out surgical gear. Luca enjoyed dressing up Acacia in the surgical garb when we got home. I mean really. . .can this little girl get any cuter?
