what a sad day

Yesterday i got a call from my mom at like 12:30 asking me to look outside and see where all of this smoke was coming from. She was worried the middle school, where my bro and sis were, blew up or something. But it was the mountain on fire. I met Brandon and Robyn over in draper up by the new temple to watch the fire and take some pics. The wind was crazy and making the fire spread all over the mountain, and over 60 homes were evacuated. Luckily it never came down far enough to burn any homes. But it was still burning when i woke up. It was fun watching but its so sad to see a huge part of our beautiful green mountains turn black! We are lucky that it didn't get too close to our house, and hopefully they put the rest out today.
here are some pics...
