A bit ago, we had a neighborhood fire. Directly behind our home...another burnt to the ground. We were alarmed to the goings on by a hovering helicopter (directly above us.) The blades cutting through the air were loud. The foreign noise lasted for well over an hour in the middle of the night. It did sound as if we were in a war zone...and when we looked out our window...tall flames lit the mountain. Pretty frightening for little Zion. She's been skittish at bed time ever since.
Last night, however...she took the brave leap of staying with her sisters downstairs while Bradley and I got our bed back :)
Wouldn't you know it...like thunder and lightening pots and pans clinging and clanging...sirens roaring...our house alarm was triggered at 3 a.m.
The next 2o some odd minutes were spent talking w/headquarters...discerning which window triggered...why it triggered...discussing how weird it was that it triggered... all in a dark house...which never seems creepy but it did last night...w/Zion shaking like a little leaf at my side.
Go figure?
