Fired Up!

This past weekend we hosted an Afterglow at our home. This was a pretty typical afterglow with pizza, video games (the guys brought their system with them), and fellowship. The only thing different at this one was the bond fire we had. I had been collecting up yard debris for several weeks and had a pretty big pile waiting. I was not expecting it to take off quite like it did. Within a matter of seconds we had flames shooting up near the tops of the trees. It really was pretty impressive! I have to admit that I was getting a little nervous about it at one point, and Tracy said she looked out and almost panickedI really expected the neighbors to call the fire department at any minute but they were all really good about it and I never even heard a complaint. We will have to do this again soon but next time I promise to make some time for capture the flag or something!
