We've got fire




That's right...these pics were taken just outside our back door today. The fire started about 12:00pm this afternoon and has spread over 5oo acres now and over 60 home evacuations. Luckily, even with the extremely close proximity to our house, we are not being evacuted and the fire is almost contained behind our house. Every once in a while we see a small flare up but the firefighters are right on it. It has gone over the mountains now and is spreading over there. My kids think this is the coolest thing EVER!! They've been watching the helicopters all day drop fire retardant and water. They constantley are flying directly over our house. It's like Disneyland over here....only, we're on fire! Don't worry, we're just fine.
