Power Outage!

After spending a lovely weekend with Doug's cousin and her family, we returned home to no power and lots of tree branches down. There were some pretty strong winds that came through from what was left of Ike. As we were driving into town we noticed a lot of branches and some trees down. We were a little worried that we would have some branches down too. We had a couple large branches down. One left a small dent in Doug's car. We're glad it didn't hit his window. We didn't even think about the power being off. We got home and neighbor was out and told us we had no power and that it could be two days! It was almost two days. The power finally came on some time last night. The kids did pretty good. We tried to keep them busy. Luckily, Quinn still had school. Some schools in the area were closed. The weather has been really nice. If it had been hot I'm not sure what we would have done. Sunday we had dinner with Cliff and Cammie and the boys finally got to see Kaelin's gerbils. They thought that was really cool. We thought it was really cool that Cliff and Cammie let us put food in their freezer! Now I have lots of laundry to catch up on. I'll probably clean the freezer out since there is no food in there!
