Our first fire


It was cold out tonight, so we decided to try out the fireplace. This is the first time we have used it, and we didn't know what to expect. Would it work? We were unsure if the gas logs were operational and how this experiment would go.
John Chris opened the damper and lit the gas light. A poof of gas inside the fireplace ignited, and Ryland screamed in fear. He started balling and ran to me. John Chris was sitting on the hearth and noticed several wasps burning and trying to crawl out of the fire. We think a nest dropped inside when the damper opened. Good thing the poof of fire got them before they flew inside.
The gas logs worked perfectly, and it was so nice to enjoy something that we didn't have to repair. It put off a warm glow and the heat warmed the family room. It was wonderful coziness.
