Singed Hair

Today we were planning on going to the rock slide since we didn't go yesterday but it has rained all day so we decided to just hang out again.  During a small break in the weather my dad decided to surprise my mom and brother by turning on the the hot tub.  The hot tub consists of a tub full of water by a heater connected to a propane tank.  You can just tell there is going to be trouble by looking at it.  I was in my room doing work when I heard this noise.  When I walked into the living room my dad was walking past me and he smelt burnt.  It turns out the noise I heard was a mini fire explosion.  While my dad was trying to light the gas to the propane tank a gust of wind hit spreading the gas and he lit it causing the flame to catch the gas and it shot up his arm and over his chest.  He has been complaining how he has patches of hair now.  When we looked at the instructions at how to start the hot tub there was a piece of paper next to it saying "DANGER You May Blow Yourself Up"  I thought that was pretty funny.  That was the most exciting thing today.  I am excited though because we have surf lessons tomorrow at 9 in the morning so we have to leave around 7:45 to get to town on time.  Tomorrow I should have a pretty good blog saying how terribly I did.
