Fire, Fire, Fire!

The other day as I was eating lunch, I noticed smoke coming from the hills above our house. It wasn't too big or serious, but within an hour or so it was spreading like...well, wildfire. We were amazed at how fast it traveled and what a great view we had of it from our house. Charlie was absolutely in heaven. He was surrounded by a combination of his favorite things: fire, smoke, fire engines-racing up our road with sirens blaring, helicopters, airplanes, police cars and being outside. It was mesmerizing to watch-especially on our nightly walks, but as incredible as it was, we are really grateful that it is under control now.

He cups his hand around his ear to listen for sirens and asks, "hear dat guys?"
