The craziest thing happened the other night...So there i was sitting in the kitchen at my moms house with my mom and Jenny, about to have some dinner, when all of a sudden my dad starts banging on our front door, which was locked, to hurry and call 911! The first thing that came to mind is that my dad hurt himself. Last time he was this frantic he had just hammered the tip of his finger pretty much off. Jenny ran to the door and my mom ran to the phone. When Jenny opened the door my dad was still yelling to get 911 or the gas company on the phone because he was working out in the yard and hit and broke the gas line. 911 told my mom to evacuate the house and the neighbors as well. I ran downstairs yelling to Zac to get out of the house! (and im glad he took the time to get a shirt and his shoes on because that was SO important) As soon as we got outside it smelled STRONG of natural gas and it sounded like water shooting out of a pipe. I was pretty sure the house was going to blow. Right then my dad found the shut off valve on the gas meter. 911 was still on the phone and told my mom they sent the gas company. My mom told them not to send any fire trucks or ambulance cause we shut got it shut off, but too late we already heard them coming. That's when it got embarrasing, we caused quite the stir that evening in the neighborhood. Everyone had to come over and investigate what was going on. Here is what happened, my das is building a swing set for the grandchildren in the back yard. Unlike any normal grandpa who would simply buy one. He was using huge metal pieces to put it together and was carrying one to the backyard when it fell over and hit the gas meter and cracked it. Which is when he came yelling for us to call 911. Well, since the firemen were already at the house they helped my dad carry the rest of it to the backyard. At this point we were all to scared to enter the house again until the gas guy got there. He told us it was safe to go in (even though the house reeked of gas). Needless to say we are all still alive, thank heaven. But its nice to give our little city some excitement every once and a while :)

The infamous swing set that broke the meter and the firemen who helped carry the rest of the swing set to the backyard

When the gas guy came i was a little sceptial of the whole thing, asking him if it was safe to go into the house.
