We will get to our exciting Sunday event in a bit... first it was time to say goodbye to our pumpkins and Heidi wanted to smash them for some reason...
We are getting a new exercise weight lifting thing this next weekend, so it meant we finally need to finish organizing the rest of the basement. Most of it just needed to be put nicely away as well as I had a goal to get rid of as many cardboard boxes as possible. I pulled everything off our shelves and went through almost everything. I found BAGS of baby clothes and baby toys.
Before...and kind of during...
It was so beautiful that Saturday night we had a fire pit, like we have had numerous times before...Traditionally, the next day, Chris fills the pan with water and lets everything soak for 4-6 hours before dumping it into our back forest area...
Well... Chris started a forest fire. Yep.
He was cleaning out the garage while I worked on the basement and was power washing when our neighbor came running over. The back of our yard was on fire - like flames etc. It was kind of lucky Chris already had his power washer going - so he ran back there and started spraying what he could until the fire department came. Luckily they came quickly and dumped so much water. It burned behind our house and over to the right to the houses behind us. Nothing but the leaves on the ground and the taller grass burned - no trees too bad and nothing in anyones yards. I didn't know this was going on and the girls didn't even notice. I didn't take too many pictures, as it was pretty intense for of bit.
It's hard to see in the pictures, but everywhere that is dark, is burned ground. It went back and to the right so it hards to tell unless you go into the trees.
*sigh* lesson learned for Chris. I am also impressed with the amount of fire jokes, memes and gifs our friends have. hehe.
Everyone and everything is safe and ok. Hopefully it all grows back ok.
That isn't dirt... the black is burnt.
We also wanted to wish a heavenly birthday to Grandpa Gonzales. We miss him everyday!
