Fire at the park

This last Sunday, Feb. 3, we went to the park that is just a block or so from our house. There is a field right next to the playground with lots of long, dry weeds. There were some kids around 10- 12 years old playing at the edge of the field when we got there but we didn't pay any attention to them. Daniel didn't get to play for long before a lady walked up and said that the field was on fire and asked if we should call 9-1-1. She called and went and stayed next to 3 of the kids that had started the fire and kept them from leaving. We were more concerned with getting a safe distance away from the fire. The wind was blowing away from the playground and the other houses but it spread quickly. Daniel was scared and it gave us a very good opportunity to talk to him about playing with fire. Ever since then when he prays, he tells Heavenly Father about the mean kids that started a fire at the park. He's such a cute little boy and he makes me smile.
