Brush Fire in Shakopee

Yesterday afternoon I received a call from Ben at school...  He said he wanted me to know that there was a brush fire right by our daycare, but that I shouldn't worry about the boys because he had it "all under control".  Our daycare had not been evacuated at that time and if they were he would be picking the boys up...  The fire was literally right next to the neighborhood in which our boys spend their afternoons and I know that our provider was a little nervous herself...  Sutton keeps talking about the "moving clouds" and how the firefighters had to spray the "moving clouds" and how they make him "choke" (which is actually a cough)...  He even woke up this morning saying he was scared of the moving clouds...  Needless to say, the firefighters got the fire under control and although 100 + acres of forest preserve were burned, there were no injuries and no damage to homes...  This fire was about a mile from our house and happened to be right over Ben's lunch break, so he was able to get some great pictures before he was evacuated and the land he was standing on burned...  This photo was already published on one of our local paper's websites and may even be printed...
