week 29

Tickles from dad before he left for work.

Just having fun together outside.

On Tuesday of this week there was a field fire on the hill at the end of our street. We live in the country with  a lot of dry fields and where the wind blows hard. Thankfully the fire was caught quickly and we live very close to a lake for two helicopters to get water do dump and three airplanes dropped retardant on and there was NO wind. So it only ended up burning about 20 acres. But it could have very easily spread quickly and reached our house at some point. Our neighbor told us to prepare to evacuate. So we tried to gather all the things we knew we could not replace and packed bags with two days worth of clothes. In the end I realized that I didn't even care about anything but getting my family out if it really came down to it.

The kids entertaining themselves while we wait for grandma to get her hair cut.
