Fire! Fire!! Fire!!!

Our family worked on a rudimentary fire drill plan when we first moved into our house a while back. One of the plans we made was that if we ever had a fire or other emergency, we were all to meet up at the Tucker's house - our next door neighbors.

We haven't really talked about it for some time. The other day, Amber was cooking some fish in the kitchen and for some reason there was some smoke from one of the items she was preparing. All the kids were playing in the family room and kitchen when the smoke alarm when off. As soon as that thing went off Alayna started yelling, "Fire! Everyone run to the Tucker's!!!" She was gone in an instant. We all tried to catch her but she was out the door and on their doorstep before Aylee was able to reach her.

We convinced her that it was a false alarm and that she could come back in the house. The kids started playing again when the alarm went off the second time. Bam! Alayna yelled about the Tucker's house and was gone in an instant!

Man, that girl has the drill down pat!
