F-I-R-E!

 Driving home from Costco led us to this smelly spot...

Oops, someone forgot to throw their cigarette away in the correct container ( i.e. out the window!)...or something.  We witnessed the smoke rise, the fire trucks come, the firemen leaping to the rescue and other such interesting events.  The kids thought it was great! (Apparently, fire is not synonymous with destruction in their cute little minds). 

I asked them to show me their unimaginable worry and this is what they came up with:

 This fire actually ended up burning for about a week and took out 120 acres or so.  Brad really, really, really wanted to bring his D-5 to Kona and offer his services...but we ended up going to a movie instead :-) (someone else had a tractor out there soon after anyway).  Maybe next time.
