On Saturday, we went up to Nate's parents' house to help get their yard ready for his cousin Joelle's wedding reception. We started to smell smoke around 4:00, and by 6:00 we could see the smoke coming from the hills above their house. Fortunately, it was far enough away that it wasn't threatening the house, but we could see huge flames at some points, lots of smoke, helicopters dropping water, and planes dropping fire retardant (I think that's what it's called). The planes would have to get really close to the ridge of the mountain to drop it, so it was interesting to watch. On our way home that night, we stopped for a while and watched the fire - it looked neat in the dark since it was all lit up. Here's a picture of what we were watching at night (except without the Lagoon sign - this picture is from a website. ok, maybe we weren't close enough that the flames looked quite that big, but this is pretty close to what we saw).
