Evacuated

To escape the 97 degree heat today, Matilda & I met Gigi & Stephanie at the Autry Museum this afternoon. It turned into quite an adventure as one hour later the museum was closed and entire park evacuated due to a fire. It appeared to be a small brush fire as we headed in, but between the heat, low humidity and high winds the fire rapidly grew out of control. Even still we can hear the hum of helicopters overhead - a combination of news choppers, police and fire fighters. We did manage to squeeze in a bit of fun during our hour there though:
