{Funny Story}

Jaynee's super awesome husband Cameron, threw her a surprise party on Friday night! They live in her grandpa's basement & he's got a fire pit out back so we had a fire--roasting hot dogs, starbursts, and making smores...you know, all that normal stuff would expect at a bon fire.

Well, if any of you know Jaynee, you know, her birthday or any event involving her can't be mellow...or normal. She likes things crazy and exciting...

This party was no exception. Her grandpa has a sunroom that connects to both the front of the house & to the backyard. We heard pounding on the door to the front, because we had left the back door open. And who was there? None of other than the fire dept.--apparently they got a call about a fire from a block away so they had to come out to inspect. There was two of them, who came and looked at our pathetic fire (it was so small it was barely putting off any heat at all.) They chuckled a little--and were like well that fire is DEFINITELY legal. But unfortunately legal or not, since they did complain we have to make you put it out. We hate to ruin the fun.

Talk about a random visit, to make things better they told us that it took a long time for them to find out where it was even at and they had to get a spotlight out just to see the tiny smoke cloud it was putting off-- so how someone saw it from a block away is beyond me!

To make things better we followed them out and turns out there were a bunch of firemen outside all suited up in their full gear--not to mention there was the fire dept. suv out front, a fire truck, and an ambulance!!! Needless to say, the whole neighborhood & Jaynee's family were either showing up or calling the house to find out what was going on.

I've been to lots of bon fires and such, but I'm not sure if any will be more memorable than this one. --Next time, I think we'll just invite the fire dept. to come join us to avoid any future 911 calls, we offered them some food and drinks last night but they declined. haha.
