The first Christmas we were in New York we went to the Santa Rescue at the Fire Museum here in NY. Last year we missed out as we were on a plane to Australia at the time. But when we realised we were going to be in NY at the right time this year we knew we had to go and see it happen again!

Tate is really starting to get an understanding of Santa this year so it is a great year to go. He was really perplexed though about why Santa was stuck and why he needed to be rescued. I think we got asked the same questions at least 20 or 30 times!!!

Here’s a look at The Great Santa Rescue of 2015:

THE fire truck for the job.

Tate wouldn’t pose with the fire truck but Knox would!

There’s Santa!!!

Up go the firemen to the rescue.

Ready for Santa to jump on!

And he’s coming down. Phew!

Almost to the ground!

Time to get off the fire truck.

So sweet, Santa giving one of the firemen a thank you hug.

Afterwards, Knox was happy to get up close to the fire truck, but Tate refused.

Sitting on the front of the truck.

Knox got sad that he wasn’t able to actually drive the truck!
