While I was in Orlando this weekend for Academic Team, this is what was going on at home.
Fortunately, nobody was hurt, and the damage was minimal. Our house is fine, but it got way too close to some of our neighbors. The ringer on my phone was still off from the awards ceremony, so I didn't know anything about it until I woke up this morning.
Anna had just gotten back from babysitting and was up in her room doing some homework when she saw flames from her bedroom window. She woke everyone in our house up and the kids all went around warning neighbors. It got closest to her friend Allie's house, three doors down from us. Allie was just getting home from prom while her dad was in the backyard spraying everything down with a garden hose. Kurt loaded all the photo albums and computers up into the car and sent the kids off to WaWa to get slushies while firefighters battled the blaze. It was a long night to say the least. So glad it wasn't worse!
