FIRE



Did you even wonder what it would be like to wake up one night and see a wall of flames outside of your bedroom window? Right outside - like 10 feet away? We found out when the trailer parked in our neighbors driveway caught on fire. Matt woke up first and said "Get Eloise!" as he ran outside with our fire extinguishers. It was just a few minutes later that the fire trucks arrived. To make a long story short, they put the fire out, nobody was hurt, our house was fine, the neighbors house had some melted siding and the trailer was toast.
I think Eloise had an exciting night (evidenced by her super excited grin). She finally started to wind down after she got her own Junior Fire Chief helmet from the fire fighters around 1 a.m.

Here's the view from Eloise's bedroom window. Yikes!
