On Sunday when it was time to head home we were stranded because I-80 was closed down because of a fire so we decided to go and see Jason's dad who lives on Rose Canyon Rd in Herriman. We could see a lot of smoke coming from the mountain but we never really thought that it would get as bad as it did. By the time it was dark around 7 or 8 we walked outside to see the flames just pouring down the mountain. It was pretty scary. It happened SO fast! The road in front of Jason's Dads house was just full of vehicles to the point the Fire trucks were having a hard time getting through. We decided to stay there for a few hours till the roads died down because police started blocking off all traffic that went up to Herriman. The smoke was SO strong there. My car almost a week later still smells awful and so does our cloths. It was really strange because we were watching a bunch of houses burn down...like way more than what they reported on the news. Yet there is only proof of 3 and 1 with damage. We really cant explain what we were all watching. So either some huge miracle happened or we were just seeing things. Either way...we were not the only ones watching homes go up in flames and I am sure the others who witnessed it all also are also baffled. We are so glad that the damage was less than what we thought. This was defiantly something that will stick out in our memories.

I am glad you guys were ok! We went up to help some friends get out and could not even get up there to get the stuff out, because the roads were so packed. My sister-in-laws house is the one that was damaged. They are thinking just claiming a total loss. Your Pic are so cute hope all is well.
