Too Close For Comfort

After the wedding shower on Saturday, we took the kids home, as we were all exhausted! Travis and I were talking on the couch and suddenly I saw smoke out the window towards the back of the property. We rushed outside, and sure enough there was a fire! Travis grabbed a shovel and ran out back to help the other neighbors who were already trying to contain the fire. The sirens were wailing in the distance so we knew that help was near. I stayed in the house with the kids trying to decide if we should go to my sister's house just in case. Luckily the fire was contained quickly and we ended up staying put. I managed to take a few pictures right after the fire was contained. It was SO scary and made us re-think our plans for future evacuations. Living in the foothills of Southern California you need always be prepared to leave at a moments notice. This is sure to be a HOT summer so next time I will be ready! We ended up having no power Saturday night into Sunday! We weren't complaining though, it could have been much worse! We were VERY lucky!
