A snowy day turned into a day of fun for kids at a Minnesota hospice home, thanks to a couple of firefighters.
Brooklyn Center firefighters showed up to Crescent Cove with a box of sleds.
"When we saw Brandon [Gautsch] and Royce [Wetterhahn] walk up with a box of sleds we're going - what do they have up their sleeve today?" Cresent Cove Founder Katie Lindenfelser told WCCO.
The sleds were donated by the local Walmart within an hour of getting the call from firefighters.
They were a big hit with the kids including Milo who has various medical conditions and shortened life expectancy.
"It's significant to see Milo smile because his brother just died a couple months ago here at Crescent Cove," Lindenfelser told the reporter.
Milo giggled as the firefighters pulled him around the halls, while Lauren was bundled up for her ride in the snow.
"How often have any of our children in Crescent Cove been able to be in a sled? They don't get to do those everyday things," said Lindenfelser.
The sleds aren't just for fun either. Firefighters explain they will come in handy if there's an emergency, and an ambulance responds.
Until then, the little patients will just enjoy the rides.
