"It tastes like ... burning"

This is a pic mom and dad's friend Andrea took of the apartment complex she works at. She lives at the same complex as us, which is about two miles south of where she works. This place was officially in the evacuation zone but was never close enough to the fires to be in real danger. Dad says our pool was just as bad, but we never saw it because mom packed us up (and put on the gas masks daddy gave us) and got our little butts out of there. We were fortunate enough to stay at our great Auntie and Uncle Pam and Steve's house (whom Drew shares the same birthday with) in their luxury suite. It's really their casita but it's like staying in a hotel, especially because it is in Newport Coast! Swanky! Anyway we're alright and all of mommy and daddy's friends and family are fine, as are their houses. Please pray for those affected though! J and D
