Hamsters/lawn mower fires

Hello!
Today was an exciting day. Well, first I worked with Valley, and you can read about it at my other blog. Click Here.

After that, when Luke and Dad came home from CAPS (Civil Air Patrol), they brought home mine and Adam's two hamsters! We found them on free cycle (a website for free stuff), and Dad and Luke picked them up today :). Mine is Lola, and Adam's is Leslie. Their both girls. I attempted to take a few pictures, but some aren't very good. I'll put the good ones here (after I write about something else). It's hard to hold a hamster still!

Before that, some of our friends, Mrs. Angela, and her son Zach, came over here to fish (by themeselves). They were just about to leave when the lawn mower dad was riding on, caught on fire! I think it was the engine that did. But anyways, the fire then caught some leaves on fire! I was inside writing on my other blog, and was watching to see what was happening. Dad, Zach, and Mrs. Angela got two big boards that were on the porch, and dropped them on the fire. I don't see how that would help if fire burnes wood, but I guess they know more about it than I do. Anyways, Zach and mom were trying to get two different water hoses over to it, but it wouldn't reach, so that's when they got the two boards. Mom got a fire extinguisher and dad sprayed it on the fire. Then it was under control. Dad and Mrs. Angela got some shovels (didn't have a rake in reach), and put the leaves in a pile (some of them were wet). Then Mrs. Angela and Zach left.

My dad is trying to burn the pile to get rid of it right now, but it isn't very succesful cause some of the leaves are wet. Well, as some of you may know, we have, no HAD two trampolines. One had kinda a big hole in it. Now, the one that was closest to the fire, has a hole that's even bigger! And some other smaller holes too. *sigh* Oh well. Oh, by the way, the lawn mower was Adam's. HA HA.
