We had to evacuate Sunday night about 10pm due to the wildfires here in our area. We hooked up our camper and all three vehicles and headed down to our church parking lot. We set-up camp for what we thought might be overnight, but it turned into a four night ordeal.
We had friends coming over to check on us Monday morning. Went to the Willis' for lunch and television viewing. We were only getting radio updates and not able to "see" what was going on. Barbara kept Sarah busy by having her cut-up apples for apple pie. John even brought a pie by the next day for us!
We had dinner at our friend's house the next three nights. The Butcher's took care of us by providing showers for the kids, making us meals, giving us the Wii fitness challenge test. I by the way, was 67 Wii years old and Steve was 49, I think.
We came home again on Monday night about 10pm, but had to evacuate again about 3am Tuesday morning and today, Thursday we were able to come home again. All is well and no damage to our property.
I was dreading camping with our new babies, but it really wasn't so bad. Their playpens fit perfectly in the back of our camper and we were able to sleep ten people. We used the church nursery for early morning playtime, morning and afternoon naps and a place to check the radio. There were bathrooms so we didn't have to use ours since we didn't have any sewer hook-up. We were able to use the power and water from the church so we really had quite the set-up. I just hate leaving home like that. Two times in the past four years is enough, don't you think?
I am so glad you are safe! I thought of your family whenever I watched the wildfire coverage on the news. Check in at the Haven when you have time. :>)
