We have been experience major "slowness" with our computer for the last week or so. We think it might be a virus. Anyway, we will probably not have a computer for just a little while b/c we're needing it to be worked or something. The post below that I just posted took about 5 hours...no I didn't sit in front of the computer the whole time, but it took that long for everything to be loaded and all the pics......... Anyway, hope to be running along "highspeed" like again soon!

The Countdown Is On
Five more days till graduation and only two more days of the academy (Mon and Tues)! We have been busy. David's parents came in on Wed and stayed until this weekend...they will be back on Tues. But they wanted to come early because last night was Family Night at the Fire Academy. All of the cadet's families came to the academy to see where they have been studying and training for the last 6 months. We had hamburgers and then the graduating class put on a "demonstration" for us. See car. See disassembled car. First they tore a car apart using the "jaws of life" and other tools to demo how they free people who are stuck in their car after a car wreck.
Car fire. Now you can't see car due to smoke from the fire being put out! Structure fire. This got hot! But the "after" pic looks like it was taken 30 mins later b/c the sun was setting but it was really like 7 sec. There was so much smoke.

Tower of the Americas
The last Saturday, David's fire cadet class had to run up the Tower of the Americas... a 750 ft. climb. I brought Avery with me, the event was actually open to the public if pre-registered so there were lots of people there with one goal in mind. Make it to the top! There were even working firefighters that volunteered to climb with all of their gear and everything. (Notice the axe).
