Saturday we decided to take the boys out to some dirt fields by our house and let Carson ride his motorcycle and the rest of us would follow in the Rhino. After a little crash Carson ended up in the Rhino with Blake and I. And we were following Shan and Michael on the motorcycle. It started feeling really hot in the Rhino and smelled a little like smoke, but I thought the motor was just getting hot. Shan stopped after a minute to check on us and he realized the Rhino was actually on fire. We hurried and got the kids out of the Rhino and then had to put out the fire with the water bottles we had luckily brought with us. Turns out there were some dead leaves and branches that had collected under the Rhino and they had caught on fire. It burned through a hose and caused a little damage, but we were able to drive it home. So, I am feeling super blessed. Had we driven a little further the fire could have reached the gas tank or gotten bigger and I don't know if I would have been able to get my kids out of the Rhino in time. I think an angel was watching over us!
This is Shan using a stick to get all the leaves and sticks out from under the Rhino so it wouldn't catch fire on the way home!
And here's my cute Blake! Buckled up like a good boy.

This looks like way to much fun for me. I am glad everything is okay with the Rhino that would have been really sad if it had ruined anything.
K, scary. You didn't say anything on Sunday. I would have freaked out, did you? Probably not, you're way calmer than me.
I didn't want to know that! : ) I am nervous enough driving our ranger. Now I am going to be paranoid about it starting on fire while I am driving the darn thing!!!
Wow that is really scarey! Good thing Shan stopped and got it all taken care of.!. Also, Blake is so stinking cute in that picture!
