Tonight we were going to go to an open house and carnival at our foster care agency.  It was scheduled from 4:00PM to 7:30PM.

When we neared the building we saw there was a fire truck, ambulance, and police cars there...all with their lights on. 

It could be that they were part of the open house, but I really don't think so.

We decided it would be best if we skipped.  In fact, the boys suggested it first.

Maybe it was a blessing, because we had a nice evening at home together.
