We made it to my parents house on Thursday and when we were putting the kids to bed on Friday night my dad yells at Adam and I saying "GET THE GIRLS AND GO OUTSIDE!" I was freaked out immediately because typically my dad DOES NOT overreact so I grabbed Lucy met Adam and Lola in the hallway and we ran outside. My dad said "the house is on fire, get outside". I saw my mom holding Hank in the yard looking back at our house. I got emotional and ran to my mom. I just knew when I looked back I would see flames coming out of my parents house that they have lived in for 32 years, so before I looked at the house I said to my mom "Everything will be okay" she said in a calm casual voice - "I know honey I just smelled smoke". LONG STORY SHORT - no smoke, no flames, no fire....we were smelling someone elses backyard fire pit. My mom and dad both smelled it and then as our AC kicked on it brought the smell into the house, there was a light haze over one light in the living room and my parents were having a little trouble with one of the lights in their bedroom. My dad called 911 and 4 huge fire trucks arrived, my kids freaked a little bit but know Lucy tells the story everyday. She now knows rescue is 911 and Lucy and Lola can yell rescue really LOUD! It is pretty funny now!
