Labor Day Fun and Worry

Spectating, playing, tailgating, firewatching, laughing, fighting, grumbling, mumbling, scrapbooking, organizing, teasing, jabbing, moping...you name it we ran the gammut of emotions and activity these past few days. Larry was home from a two week stint in Ft. Lauderdale (tired and glad to be home). Cara and Jenna worked on homework. Laura was busy solving geneological puzzles. Larry made a few more scrapbook pages (aaahhhh, that Freshman year).

In between that we managed to attend the UCLA vs SDSU football game (UCLA won!). The picture of Cara (L) and Jenna (R) was taken there. It was great to hear both the SDSU marching band (13 tubas!) and UCLA's pep band perform.

We hit the miniature golf course on Sunday. Cara won our first round (3 hole in ones certainly helped her score) and Jenna took honors on the second round. Twenty-plus laps around the go kart track and we were off on other adventures.

Unfortunately, a fire erupted just east of the girl's high school (literally on the open brush field just by the stadium). Emergency Personel had evacuated approximately 200 homes near our neighborhood. We were never in any danger but the flames burned over 150 acres of our beautiful hillsides. Mt. Carmel HS was set up as an evacuation center. There are shots of the firefighters and air support on the link below.
