Saturday morning Dale's mom called to tell us that his dad's hay was on fire. So Dale left quickly to go help out. They aren't sure exactly when the fire started or the cause, but we got the call about 7:30am. Around 2pm Dale called and said that they were finished and going to get something to eat. At 4:30pm when Bryce and I were visiting Grandma Linda we saw the boys headed back down the road and shortly after that we could smell the smoke again. They fought the fire until after dark. The paper stated that they used nearly 30,000 gallons of water to try and extinguish the flames. I think it was determined that they lost about 60 bales, but were able to save 100.
Everyone was exhausted Saturday night and I know Dale is still a little choked up from breathing the smoke all day. Here is a picture of Dale that the paper posted on the internet.
The picture looks like a painting with the smoke in the background!

Wow, Ashley!! I didn't realize it was Eddie's hay that caught on fire! I am glad no one was hurt trying to put it out! BTW, Bryce is such a little cutie!
