Our Mountain On Fire






















































We wanted to share some of what we saw from our yard last night as the mountain behind our house caught fire and burned. Even though we were a few blocks below the fire level, it was a pretty scary experience to see flames so close to our backyard. The pictures do not do this any justice, but I'm sure you can get the idea. I have a whole new appreciate for fire and the destruction in can do in such a short amount of time. We were without power from 5:30 pm until 3:30 am. I discovered that I am not such a prepared pioneer, and that Teegan and Trey are spoiled rotten because the hardest part of the whole night was getting them to drink cold milk instead of warm :) The boys enjoyed sitting on the roof and watching the fire with our neighbor Rocky who is just a big kid at heart.
