It's still on fire.

Here are three pictures that Brian took from his phone. I have a few more on the camera that I haven't uploaded yet.
The top picture is sequenced right before the next picture. These pictures are looking from Dad's front yard. Brian was up there helping them evacuate.

This picture is from right behind our house looking northwest. Look at the smoke.

When Brian came back from Dad's, Jack said to him, "Dad, were you just eating hot dogs?" He smelled like he'd been at a campfire for hours. Our house still smells like smoke, but it's worse outside. Today, Tuesday, our schools are still closed because the fire is still burning and they need to clean the schools. The ash is everywhere.

Halloween.

This was the first "spooky" costume that we've had. Truthfully it was more fun to dress them up when I got to pick what they wore. Jack was a cowboy, but at the last minute wanted to be Indiana Jones. He told everyone, all day and all night, that he was Indiana Jones dressed as a cowboy.



This is Jack and his best friend Emma. We didn't plan the cowboy/ cowgirl thing. It was purely coincidental.

Legoland!!! Andrew helped me take the kids to Legoland. As you can see, we all had fun.
