YIKES IKE!

Well, IKE has come and gone. Wow! He sure did leave a big mess. We finally got power after it being out for about 8 days. There are still people without it! We rode the storm out at the conference center and then when it was apparent that we were not going to have any electricity for a while, I packed the kids up and off we went to Windy Hill. Poor Shawn had to stay behind and work. He stayed at the office though where power was restored. We all came home on Thurs to a stinky refrigerator and a big mess in the back yard. Things are starting to get back to normal though. Slowly cleaning up the mess and gearing up for Ryan's Birthday party on Sat! It will be fun! Here are some pics from the past week or so.



The Sky before the storm





Us hanging out at the hotel. The kids slept right through it.
















Then we went up to Windy Hill. We went to the park, the Zoo and rode trains! We had so much fun!



















Then we came home to our messy backyard. :(








Shawn spent the weekend cleaning up!







Now this is at our curb! The county one day will come by to pick it up.





Ryan and Kathleen had fun playing outside while Daddy was picking up






Kathleen even got a early birthday present. She found it in the garage where I was hiding it. haha!
